Det Brutna Löftet

The Broken Promise

On December 18th, 2001 at 9.49 p.m. the small exclusive jet plane - N379P - took off from Bromma airport in Sweden. Aboard were asylum seekers Ahmed Agiza and Muhammed Al-Zery. Disguised American agents had - on Swedish soil - cut up their clothes off, put hoods over their heads and inserted suppositories into their anuses. When the plane took off at 21.49 and set course towards Egypt, known for widespread torture, Sweden made a great deviation from a long tradition of safeguarding human rights. Ahmed Agiza and Muhammed Al-Zery were suspected of terrorism, but no evidence is presented. In Egypt, “Kalla Fakta” revealed, the men were subjected to systematic torture. Information that the Swedish government tried to cover up before the UN Committee against Torture, which is now investigating the event. In a unique look at the event TV4 can - for the first time - show how extensive the United State’s illegal man hunt has been since the terror attacks on September 11th, 2001. The American agents belonged to a secret commando unit that answers directly to the Pentagon. This secret commando unit has executed at least 72 missions all over the world. The same plane that landed at Bromma airport flies non-stop between destinations such as Cairo, Kabul and Guantànamo in Cuba.
