| A court in Italy has convicted 23 Americans, almost all of them identified as CIA operatives for abducting a Muslim cleric, Abu Omar from the streets of Milan in 2003. United States said it was disappointed at the court’s decision. Paul Adams reports. A spokesman Ian Kelly said the Americans had not yet seen the judge’s written verdict, but he predicted that an appeal would follow. The 23 Americans, all but one of them identified as CIA officers, were convicted of kidnapping an Egyptian terrorism suspect Abu Omar on the streets of Milan in 2003 and flying him to Germany and on to Egypt where he says he was tortured. The judge’s verdict is largely symbolic as the Americans have made it clear all along they have no intention of extraditing any of those now convicted even if the Italian government were to ask for it which has never shown the least interest in doing. |
