"extraordinary rendition" program.
The 35 are scheduled to go to trial June 8 for allegedly kidnapping and transferring a terror suspect to
third countries. Three other Italians face charges of complicity in the kidnappings.
However, none of the Americans -- almost all CIA agents -- is in custody in Italy and the Italian
government has not asked for their extradition to Italy.
The case revolves around the alleged kidnapping of Osama Nasr Mostafa Hassan, an Egyptian-born
Muslim cleric, also known as Abu Omar, in February 2003. (Watch how the CIA allegedly abducted the
terrorist suspect)
At the time of his disappearance, Milan prosecutors were investigating him for alleged links to
terrorism.
Prosecutors allege that a CIA team working with Italian intelligence officials seized him, eventually
flying him to Egypt, and used torture as part of an interrogation there.
In an earlier interview, former CIA analyst Michael Scheuer said the Italian military secret service had
approved the operation, and CIA sources who refused to be named told CNN in 2005 that the agency
had briefed and sought approval from its Italian counterpart for such abduction.
But the Italian government of former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has vigorously denied having
authorized Hassan's kidnapping, which it called illegal.

countries that do so.”
