5 Hassan Osama Nasr (Abu Omar), a radical imam suspected of links to al-Qaeda, was abducted in Milan in February 2003 by CIA and Italian security agents and transported secretly to Egypt for interrogation. Later released under house arrest, the cleric ignored warnings to remain silent. Italian authorities later issued arrest warrants for twenty-six Americans and nine Italians involved in the rendition.
