"Most experts, including former intelligence officers, said it was unlikely the CIA would mount such an operation without some level of approval from the host nation. Berlusconi considers himself the most loyal supporter of the Iraq war among leaders in continental Europe.

"It is impossible that they did this without Italian cooperation, but we found no evidence," an Italian law enforcement official said.

The prime minister has not commented on the case"
