| Terror suspect allegedly kidnapped by CIA |
A controversial US policy has a complicated name - 'extraordinary rendition'. The process, say critics, is quite simple: seize a suspected terrorist and take him to a third country. The practice evades international laws and the vaunted principles of due process, trial by jury and access to an attorney. Most often individuals of Arab descent are the ones detained, interrogated, and allegedly tortured. In some cases, the US intelligence agencies have got the wrong man. Yosri Fouda, investigative reporter of Al Jazeera Arabic's flagship documentary programme, Top Secret, and producer Giles Trendle, gain exclusive access to victims of extraordinary rendition.
Triangle of Anger will air in its full version on Saturday 9th December.
