Britain, Poland, Germany, Italy and other EU nations knew about secret CIA flights over Europe and the abduction of terrorism suspects by U.S. agents, according to a report approved by a special committee of the European Parliament.

Conservatives opposed to the document pushed through an amendment saying there is no evidence that CIA secret prisons were based in Poland -- an allegation that prompted the investigation in November 2005.

The report was backed by Socialists and Liberals; center-right deputies rejected it as ideological, biased and inaccurate. It was also criticized by some of the 13 European Union member nations implicated.
