Italian police are investigating whether U.S. intelligence agents kidnapped an Egyptian dissident on the streets of Milan two years ago. This according to a report in the Sunday Times of London. In February 2003, eyewitnesses saw three men approach Osama Moustafa Nasr as he walked to a mosque. He disappeared that same day only to turn up later imprisoned in Egypt. He later said he was stopped in the street, forced into a car, taken to a military base and flown to Egypt. In Egypt Nasr was reportedly tortured so badly by secret police in Cairo that he lost hearing in one ear. The Sunday Times reports Nasr’s disappearance is likely the latest example of the US carrying out what it calls extraordinary rendition. The controversy practice allows the US to extradite suspects from one foreign state to another for interrogation and prosecution.
