In Italy, the long-delayed trial over the CIA kidnapping of the Egyptian cleric Abu Omar has begun. Twenty-six Americans are being tried in absentia along with several former Italian intelligence officials. Omar was seized on the streets of Milan in 2003 and taken to US bases in Italy and Germany before being sent to Egypt. There he says he was tortured during a four-year imprisonment. Omar’s wife, Ghali Nabila, opened the trial, testifying her husband was tied, beaten and electrocuted during his ordeal.
