BERLIN, Feb. 23 (Xinhuanet) -- A parliamentary enquiry cleared the German secret service of charges that it helped the U.S. military during its strikes on Iraq, German media reported Thursday.

    The panel found that there was no evidence that two agents of the German foreign intelligence service (BND) had helped U.S. forces establish military targets during the 2003 Iraq war as U.S.and German media had alleged.

    After the presentation of a 300-page report by the parliamentary control committee (PKG), the German coalition government announced that the results exonerated the Gerhard Schroeder government, saying there would be no further probe into the matter. The report was presented in a closed session on Wednesday, and will be made public later Thursday.

    The panel also ruled that German secret services had not takenpart in detaining Khaled el Masri, a German of Lebanese origin seized by U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in Macedonia in 2003, and that German security services had not taken part in the illegal examination of terror suspects in Syria and Guantanamo Bay.

    But el Masri believes a German policeman interrogated him in Afghanistan during his custody.

    A court in Munich is still investigating whether the former government knew sooner than it admitted that the CIA had wrongfully detained el Masri. Enditem
