Outcry is growing in several European and North African countries over the use of local airports for renditions of CIA detainees. Government officials and newspapers in countries including Norway, Sweden, Morroco, and Spain have raised concerns over specific incidents of CIA flights in their respective territory. The Spanish newspaper El Pais cited a civil guard report saying CIA planes made at least 10 secret stopoffs in the Balearic Islands last year. Meanwhile, an Italian prosecutor demanded Friday the extradition of 23 CIA agents believed to have been involved in the abduction of Osama Mustafa Hassan Nasr. Nasr was kidnapped by CIA agents in Milan and brought to Egypt for interrogation in February 2003.
