Lebanon issues warrants in Sayyed Musa al-Sadr Case

Saturday, 04 August 2007

Lebanon issues six warrants for Libyans in case of missing cleric.

Examining Magistrate Samih al-Hajj, who is looking into the disappearance of Imam Moussa Sadr, issued arrest warrants in absentia for six Libyans, including ex-cabinet ministers, ambassadors and army officers.

The six Libyans were identified as al-Mirghany Massoud al-Toumy, Ahmad Mohammed al-Hattab, al-Hady Ibrahim Moustafa al-Saadawi, Abdul Rahman Mohammed Ghawila, Mohammed Khaleefa Hahyoun and Issa Massoud Abdullah al-Mansouri. The warrants were issued after their full names were provided to the Lebanese judiciary.

Al-Hajj also issued warrants to establish the identities and whereabouts of Mahmoud Mohammed Bankoura, Ahmad al-Atrash, Abdul Salam Gloud, Issa al-Ba'ba', Ashour al-Fourtass, Ali Abdul Salam Alturaiki, Ahmad Shahti, Ahmad Massoud Saleh Ibrahim Khalifa Gandour, Mohammed al-Tarhini Mahmoud Wild Dada.

The warrants could be referred to International Police (Interpol) for follow up.

Born in Qom, Iran in 1928, Sayyed al-Sadr was a Lebanese philosopher and a prominent Shi'a religious leader who spent many years of his life in Lebanon as a religious and political leader.

In August 1978 Sayyed al-Sadr and two companions departed for Libya to meet with officials from Qaddafi's government. Al-Sadr and his companions were never heard from again. It is widely believed that he was killed by Qaddafi, but the reason for this has never become known. Libya has consistently denied responsibility, claiming that al-Sadr and his companions left Libya for Italy. Some others have reported that al-Sadr remains secretly in jail in Libya. Al-Sadr's disappearance continues to be a major dispute between Lebanon and Libya.

Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri claimed that the Libyan regime and particularly the Libyan leader Colonel Muammar al-Gaddafi were responsible for the disappearance of Imam Musa Sadr.

	I hope that Sayid Musa is able to return to Libnan very soon. In the past we have heard reports of people from Libya who said that Imam Musa Al Sadr is alive and in prison. I pray he will come back to Libnan very soon, Insha2 Allah. Innahu Sami3un Mujeeb, wal 3aqibatu lil-Muttaqeen.
