Italian judge issues arrest warrants for 13 CIA agents

"Extraordinary rendition" is still consider to be the crime of kidnapping in Italy

Associated Press reports that an Italian judge has issued arrest warrants for 13 CIA agents alleged to be involved in the kidnapping of Osama Moustafa Hassan Nasr, known as Abu Omar. The victim is alleged to have been tortured in Egypt.

By AIDAN LEWIS, Associated Press Writer

ROME - An Italian judge ordered the arrests of 13 people in the purported
CIA abduction of an imam, who then was sent to Egypt, the Milan prosecutor's office said Friday. An Italian official said earlier the 13 were CIA officers involved in U.S. anti-terrorism efforts.

The 13 are suspected of seizing Osama Moustafa Hassan Nasr, known as Abu Omar, on the streets of Milan on Feb. 17, 2003, and sending him to Egypt, where he reportedly was tortured, Milan prosecutor Manlio Claudio Minale said in a statement.

The U.S. Embassy in Rome and the CIA in Washington declined to comment.

The prosecutor's statement did not name any of the suspects or mention the CIA by name, but an Italian official familiar with the investigation confirmed newspaper reports Friday that the suspects were working for the CIA.

Minale said the suspects remained at large, and Italian authorities would ask the United States and Egypt for assistance in the case.

Prosecutors believe the officers seized Omar as part of the CIA's "extraordinary rendition" program, in which terror suspects are transferred to third countries without court approval, according to reports Friday in newspapers Corriere della Sera and Il Giorno.

"The tradition of the oppressed teaches us that the 'state of emergency' in which we live is not the exception but the rule. We must attain to a conception of history that is in keeping with this insight. Then we shall clearly realize that it is our task to bring about a real state of emergency, and this will improve our position in the struggle against Fascism. One reason why Fascism has a chance is that in the name of progress its opponents treat it as a historical norm. The current amazement that the things we are experiencing are 'still' possible in the twentieth century is not philosophical. This amazement is not the beginning of knowledge--unless it is the knowledge that the view of history which gives rise to it is untenable."

--Walter Benjamin, "Theses on the Philosophy of History," (Spring, 1940) trans. Harry Zohn.

" "It is very likely that Nasr Osama (the real name of Abu Omar) is currently being held prisoner in Egypt, after being released between April and May 2004, under a 'forced residence' regime, in Alexandria", writes the Judge for Preliminary Investigations of Milan, Guido Salvini, in the arrest warrant issued for Abu Omar, accused of international terrorism, and kidnapped by the CIA. "Should he be released again, he would disappear, and without an extradition request by Italy, he would be out of reach for the Italian and EUropean justice"."
