(Reuters) - Former CIA Milan station chief Robert Seldon Lady, convicted in Italy (http://www.reuters.com/places/italy) of kidnapping an Egyptian Muslim cleric, has been arrested in Panama, Italian judicial sources told Reuters on Thursday.
Italy's highest court last year upheld a guilty verdict against Seldon Lady for the kidnapping of Hassan Mustafa Osama Nasr, who was snatched from a Milan street in 2003 and flown to Egypt (http://www.reuters.com/places/egypt?lc=int_mb_1001) for interrogation, where he says he was tortured for seven months.
The imam, also known as Abu Omar, was a resident in Italy (http://www.reuters.com/places/italy?lc=int_mb_1001) at the time of the abduction.
Seldon Lady was given a nine-year prison sentence and another 22 Americans seven-year sentences in absentia for the abduction of the imam
