Man sues CIA over torture claims

Edited on Wed Dec-07-05 05:21 AM by Stockholm

A man who says he was a victim of the CIA's alleged secret prisons is suing its former chief over torture claims.

Khaled al-Masri says he was kidnapped in 2003 while on holiday in Macedonia, flown to Afghanistan and mistreated.

His is a rare legal challenge to the US policy of "extraordinary rendition" - flying suspects to third countries without judicial process.

US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said this week the US does not practice or condone torture.
