[‘Extraordinary rendition’ only applies to some…] “Italy’s top court Wednesday confirmed guilty verdicts against 23 CIA agents for the 2003 abduction of an Egyptian imam in Milan and ordered a re-trial for five Italian ex-spies accused of taking part. The CIA agents were all being tried in absentia in one of the world’s biggest court cases against the US ‘extraordinary rendition’ programme to interrogate alleged Islamist militants after the September 11, 2001 attacks. Italy’s justice ministry is now obliged to make a formal request for the extradition of the agents, legal sources said, but the United States has already refused.”
