Italian spy trial frozen by judge

Excerpt:
"An Italian judge effectively froze on Monday the trial of U.S. and Italian spies charged with kidnapping a terrorism suspect in Milan in 2003 and then flying him to Egypt, where he says he was tortured.

The trial of seven Italians and 26 Americans -- the latter, all believed to be CIA agents, in absentia -- is the first anywhere over the practice of "extraordinary rendition", whereby terrorism suspects are secretly transferred to third countries."
