A former CIA officer convicted of a role in the kidnapping of an Egyptian cleric under the CIA’s “extraordinary rendition” program says she is facing extradition to Italy. Sabrina De Sousa faces four years in prison after an Italian court convicted her in absentia for the kidnapping of Abu Omar. Omar was snatched off the streets of Milan in 2003 and sent to Egypt, where he said he was tortured. If De Sousa is imprisoned in Italy, it would mark the first time any CIA officer involved in the rendition program has gone to jail.
