A former CIA operative is to be the first to be extradited to face
court over the Bush administration's heavily criticised policy of
kidnapping terror suspects and smuggling them to third countries for
interrogation.
In the latest twist in a decades-long transatlantic espionage
scandal, the Portuguese Supreme Court has upheld a request from Italy to
extradite Sabrina de Sousa, who was detained in Lisbon last year.
Ms de Sousa, 57, has already been convicted in absentia for her
alleged role in the CIA kidnapping of Abu Omar, a Muslim cleric accused
of jihadist sympathies.
