22 CIA agents wanted in Europe: "December 24, 2005 | BY AIDAN LEWIS
ROME -- An Italian judge has issued European arrest warrants for 22 purported CIA operatives wanted for the alleged kidnapping of an Egyptian cleric, a prosecutor said Friday.
...
The alleged abduction was purportedly part of the CIA's ''extraordinary rendition'' program, in which terrorism suspects are transferred to third countries without court approval.
Prosecutors say the abduction was a serious violation of Italian sovereignty that has hindered Italian terrorism investigations.
The Italian government has vigorously denied any prior knowledge of the alleged abduction, and U.S. authorities have consistently declined to comment.
