CIA agents' kidnap trial starts in Italy
TWENTY-SIX US citizens, almost all believed to be CIA agents, went on trial in their absence yesterday, accused of kidnapping a Muslim cleric in Milan and flying him to Egypt.
Egyptian Hassan Mustafa Osama Nasr, also known as Abu Omar, was on Washington's list of terrorist suspects and says he was tortured in Egypt after his "extraordinary rendition".
"I would have liked this trial to show the whole world the truth about the world's number one terrorist - George W Bush," Mr Nasr said from Egypt.
But he had low expectations of the trial as "only Westerners have rights, but Arabs and Muslims have no rights to life".
