Italian judges hold preliminary hearing on CIA abduction
Milan - Judges in Milan held a second preliminary hearing Monday to decide whether to indict United States and Italian spies for the abduction of an Egyptian terror suspect. A total of 35 people, including 26 CIA agents and top officials from Italy's military intelligence agency SISMI, risk going on trial over their involvement in a so-called 'extraordinary rendition' operation as part of President George W. Bush's global war on terrorism.
Should judges decide to indict the defendants, it would be the first time that the controversial practice was to be made accountable to the law.
