The European Court of Human Rights has ruled in favour of a German
citizen, after finding he was an innocent victim of extraordinary
rendition by the CIA. Macedonia was ordered to pay Khaled el-Masri
$78,000 on Thursday for arresting him and handing him over to the US in
December 2003. El-Masri spent five months in secret CIA jails for
suspected links to armed Islamist groups. Al Jazeera's Nick Spicer
reports from Berlin.
