Egyptian deported by CIA gets residency in Sweden

None

A Swedish immigration official says a former Egyptian terror suspect who had once been handed over to the CIA and brought to Egypt has been granted permanent residency in the Scandinavian country.

 

Agiza and fellow Egyptian Muhammed Alzery were handed over to US agents at Bromma Airport in Stockholm and taken to Egypt in 2001. Their capture was part of a much-criticized program during the Bush administration, which flew alleged terrorists to countries that allowed harsh interrogation techniques.
