ROME/MILAN (Reuters) - Italian prosecutors asked a judge on Tuesday to order CIA
agents and Italian spies to stand trial on charges of kidnapping a terrorism suspect
and flying him to Egypt, where he says he was tortured.

An Italian judge must call a preliminary hearing to decide if there is enough evidence
for a trial. Even defense lawyers say privately they expect the case to go to court.

The suspects include 26 Americans, most believed to be CIA agents, as well as six
Italians, including the former head of Italy's SISMI military intelligence agency,
Nicolo Pollari.

Prosecutors believe the CIA agents, with help from SISMI, grabbed Hassan Mustafa
Osama Nasr off a Milan street, bundled him into a van and flew him out of Italy
from a U.S. airbase.

1. Yeah! Vai Italia!

Go Italy!

Hold their toes to the fire, and prosecute!

What has america become that we have to depend on other countries to prosecute our own law breakers?
