Italy seeks more arrests in CIA kidnap case - Yahoo! News:

"MILAN (Reuters) - An Italian court has widened a probe into the alleged kidnapping of an Egyptian terrorism suspect by the
CIA, issuing arrest warrants for three U.S. citizens including a diplomat, a judicial source said on Friday.

The new warrants, issued earlier this week, bring the total number of suspects to 22. The first warrants -- all for U.S. citizens -- were issued in June, when the case sparked a diplomatic row.

Italian prosecutors say U.S. secret services took imam Hassan Mustafa Osama Nasr, also known as Abu Omar, from Milan to Egypt in February 2003 for interrogation, a process known as 'rendition.' There are suspicions he may have been tortured."
