Talk:N85VM

N85VM is a white Gulfstream with the tail number "N85VM", rumored to be used as a US Department of Defense or CIA prisoner transport. The craft is thought to be used in delivery of detainees to undisclosed foreign or secret locations for advanced interrogation. See extraordinary rendition.

The plane allegedly had been used to render Abu Omar (also Osama Nasr Mostafa Hassan), who had been abducted in Italy and kidnapped to Cairo where he was imprisoned by the Egyptians and, as he claims, brutally tortured.
