PARIS (Reuters) - A European investigator says he has proof Poland and Romania hosted secret CIA prisons under a post-9/11 pact to hunt down and interrogate "high value" terrorist suspects wanted by the United States.

Swiss senator Dick Marty said Poland housed some of the CIA's most sensitive prisoners, including Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who says he masterminded the September 11, 2001, attacks on the United States that killed almost 3,000 people.

"There is now enough evidence to state that secret detention facilities run by the CIA did exist in Europe from 2003-2005, in particular in Poland and Romania," Marty says in a report for the Council of Europe human rights watchdog.

Marty accused the former Polish president and the current and former presidents of Romania of having known and approved of the secret CIA operations on their soil.

European Union members Poland and Romania have repeatedly denied the existence of secret prisons on their territory.
