BUDAPEST, Dec. 7 (Xinhuanet) -- Hungarian state secretary in charge of civilian security services, Andras Toth, on Wednesday reiterated in parliament that Hungary had not been involved in anyof the CIA's secret prisons or similar missions.

    Even if Hungary was asked to set up such secret camps, it would refuse to cooperate, he said.

    Toth was responding to a Washington Post report that the Central Intelligence Agency had set up a prison network in eastern Europe.

    Danish Transport Minister Flemming Hansen has said a CIA-related aircraft landed at Budapest's Ferihegy airport in October 2005.

    Toth admitted Hungary hosted a military training program in its western city Taszar in early 2003, but denied that Iraqi immigrants had been trained there by Americans as indicated by some reports.

    The official added that his country, as a NATO member, was involved in helping the United States fight terrorism, but that its engagement was fully in line with international law and legal norms.

    Hungary is the third country to deny involvement after Poland and Romania, which have been identified by the New York-based Human Rights Watch as sites of possible CIA secret prisons.

    The allegations have sparked an outcry in Europe. The Council of Europe assembly has asked Swiss lawmaker Dick Marty to investigate the CIA's reported transfers of prisoners through European airports to secret detention centers. Enditem
