Having last year arrested two of its own intelligence agents in the "rendition" scandal, Italy now indicts 25 CIA men. Extraordinary indeed. From AKI, Feb. 16:MILAN - A judge in Milan ordered on Friday the former head of Italy's military intelligence to stand trial along with six Italian agents and 26 US citizens - most of them CIA agents - over the alleged abduction of an Egyptian Muslim extremist in Milan in 2003 in a US practice known as 'extraordinary rendition'. The case will be the first criminal trial over the secret transfer by Washington of terror suspects to detention centers around the world. The trial is scheduled to begin on 8 June and the US citizens are expected to be tried in absentia.
