Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

L'Unità had a small article on November 13th, page 12, that cites the Moroccan weekly, Le Journal. According to the article, which I could not find on the net, the well-known Boeing 737, N313P, landed in Morocco at least ten times between December 2002 and February [no year]. A member of the Moroccan intelligence services, the DST, affirmed in an interview to have personally taken part in the transfer of prisoners at the Salè airbase, near Rabat, in January 2004. He said that four men, shackled and blindfolded, were taken out of the Boeing accompanied by eight men in civilian clothes, presumably CIA agents.

Last July, Swiss authorities opened an investigation into the use of airbases in Swiss territory by the CIA's favourite Boeing and if prisoners had been on the craft when it stopped in Switzerland.

La Repubblica Sunday has a long article by the Italian Constitutional Law Expert and former President of the International Criminal Tribune at the Hague, Antonio Cassese, on the opportunity of formalizing the international arrest warrants for the 22 presumed CIA agents involved in the Abu Omar kidnapping. The warrants should preferably have a final clearing by the Minister of Justice. The ball would then pass into American hands who have the political, moral and legal responsibility for their acts. It is possible that the indicted agents will be tried in absentia.

The Procura of Zweibrecken has opened an investigation into the Abu Omar transit at Ramstein, thanks to the Milan investigation and its formal conclusions. German authorities are well known for their determination.
