“Mustafa Osama Nasr (Abu Omar), who in 2001 had been granted asylum by Italy from persecution in Egypt, was abducted by the CIA and then shipped back to Egypt where he was imprisoned for four years without charges and, he says, brutally tortured by America’s long-standing ally, the Mubarak regime. Nasr ‘was seized in broad daylight on the open street, pushed into a white van, taken to the Aviano military airport and then flown to Egypt via the US Ramstein Air Base in Germany’. Yesterday, an Italian appellate court sentenced the country’s former intelligence chief, Niccolò Pollari, to ten years in prison ‘for complicity’ in that kidnapping.”
