In Germany, prosecutors have issued arrest warrants for 13 CIA operatives linked to the kidnapping and torture of the German citizen Khalid El-Masri. Masri was seized along the Serbian-Macedonian border and flown to Afghanistan, where he was tortured inside a secret prison. He was released without charge after five months. Masri tried to sue the CIA in federal court, but his case was dismissed on grounds a trial could harm national security. The news comes as an Italian court is considering whether to try two dozen U.S. agents over the kidnapping of the Egyptian cleric Abu Omar.
