Plane allegedly linked to CIA front landed in Canada: records

OTTAWA (CP) - Records show a privately owned airplane that has been linked to an alleged CIA front flew from Newfoundland to the United States on Friday, raising new questions about Canada's role in the fight against terrorism.

According to an Icelandic flight registry obtained by a newspaper in Reykjavik, the airplane registered as N168D arrived in that country from St. John's last April 6 before quickly heading to Prague, La Presse reported.

John Sifton, an analyst with New York-based Human Rights Watch, said in an interview with La Presse the two Devon aircraft suspected of landing on Canadian soil had the authority to land "on any U.S. military base on the planet."

He said two other aircraft had similar authorization. Those planes also landed in Canada in 2001, according to aircraft registries consulted by the newspaper.

4. I don't think it's Arizona

It seems to have a lot of extra antenna on top and flies to lots of places we have formerly secret prisons. If you go to <http://www.airliners.net/> and type in these tail numbers into the search window, you can see the different places it (and a few others aircraft) have been photographed.

N8213G
N83AR
N313P (which was changed to N4476S)
