Libyan Rebels: Suspected Corpse of Imam Moussa Sadr Found
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
The corpse of missing Imam Moussa al-Sadr was found among a number of corpses in the Libyan town of Tarhuna, reported al-Hurra television.
The Kuwaiti al-Qabas newspaper had reported that 3,715 corpses were found in a freezer in Libya, one of them was that of Sadr.
Contacts were made to verify the report and a Lebanese delegation will be sent to Tripoli to follow up on the matter, said the newspaper.
Regarded by Lebanon's Shiites as a key spiritual guide, Sadr vanished, amid mysterious circumstances and was last seen in Libya where he was invited by Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi.
At the time, Sadr was trying to negotiate an end to the Lebanese civil war (1975-1990), in which Palestinian factions were involved.
Gadhafi was believed to be shipping weapons to the Palestinians and other groups and Sadr, according to reports, was hoping to convince the Libyan leader to refrain from stoking the unrest in Lebanon.
But his visit to Tripoli along with two aides, Mohammed Yacoub and Abbas Badreddine, took a sour turn after he got into a heated argument with Gadhafi who ordered that the three men be "taken away," according to an indictment against the Libyan leader issued by Lebanese authorities.
Libyan authorities have stated that the three officials left Tripoli to Italy, who after conducting an investigation in the matter denied the claims.
In 2004, the passports of Sadr and Yacoub were found in a hotel in Rome.
In August 2008, Lebanon issued arrest warrants against Gadhafi and some of his aides, accusing them of kidnapping Sadr and his companions.
Relations between Libya and Lebanon have been at a low point since the cleric's disappearance, which dealt a heavy blow to the Shiite community.

Sadr was an Iranian born agent who had his own agenda which eventually led to the creation of Hizbullah. He is no Saint as they make him out to be. He was the founder of the Amal militia of thugs, and was an early pioneer of eroding the state and its institutions. The situation we are in today is largely thanks to his efforts.

The murder of Imam Sadr dealt a blow to the Shiaa community in more ways than one. It weakened the moderates and helped create the monster of Hezbollah.

It is a farce that Israeli occupation created Hizbullah..... Israel withdrew from all occupied Lebanese land unilaterally and without conditions. Yet, Hizbullah continues to exist and has expanded to control every aspect of Lebanese life and society. For those who tend to forget, Nassrallah linked his party's continued possession of illegal arms to the eventual destruction of Israel and to the Liberation of Palestine.... something that will never happen in the mind of any reasonable person.

Hezbollah was created by the Iranian revolutionary guards under Khomeini's orders when they lured some members of Amal with money or ideology away to form a more fanatical fundamentalist Islamic group under the direct control of the ayatollah, that's not a secret. A second thing that is not a secret is that Imam Sadr belonged to a branch of Shiism diametrically opposed to the Ayatollah's dogma since the latter was still in exile in Paris. A third thing that is not a secret and that's Imam Sadr fate was decided by the same person that ordered the murder of Kamal Jumblat using his ally Qaddafi.

I admire the tenacity of the Shiites in their search for the killers of Mousa al Sadr. I surely hope that they get closure.
Yet they should be the first to understnd other Lebanese who want the same justice.
I do hope the Shiites stop letting Hizballah from bing their exclusive representative. And that they as other Lebanese do all they can to catch the killers of the others who were murdered, even if the killers could be from their own ranks.

just for your knowledge , Imam Mousa Sadr is from city Tyre , he was born in iran to a lebanese family .http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musa_al-Sadr
Pierre Amine Gemayel, ur historic leader was born in city of mansourah , Egypt does that make him egyption.
the point is , you always seek to amaze me with your lack of knowledge and your vast imagination , u imagine events and victories . The result of Imam Mousa Sadr teachings and the path he set for us led to to our great political leader Nabih Berri , who is recognized as the smartest political leader in lebanon in our time and also led to Sayed Hasan Nasrallah as the strongest military leader in lebanon since independance till our day. So the realty is the thought of Hizbullah simply scares the shit out of you, in other words it makes you pee in ur pants . Frankly speaking stop crying and whining and asking everyone to help you against us.
who wants power should seek power and not cry like little girls asking for some power .

Chad,
What exactly do you mean by " Dont mess with us" ?
1- Dont share your opinion or we will brand you traitors?
2- Dont enforce the LAW on us because we dont have to?
3- Dont try to make Municipal Beirut a hezbollah free region or else we will take over it and harass and terrorize its citizens?
No Chad, you and your "brothers" have been brainwashed for too long, you're going delusional. You left no more room for reasoning together, so yes, we'll mess with you.

We are being led to believe that Gaddafi (had he really killed Sadr) kept Sadr's body frozen since the late 70s to be later found and incriminate himself???? hmmmmm......

Voyager, hezballah was created to liberate lebanon from the "israeli" occupation which they succeded in. Lebanon would have been re-occupied yesterday rather than tomorrow had it not been for hezballah. Half of lebanon, especially the south, (if not all of lebanon) is considered by the zionists to belong to "israel". And they need to control it for water and other resources. Your trying to sound civilized but you only end up sounding silly. And at the end yes israel will be defeated, its not a matter of if, its a matter of when but by all means, do continue to believe whatever the white man feeds you. Just remember turkey, they used to do and believe everything the white man told them in order to join EU, and at the end all they got was a big laughter and a NO WAY IN HELL. You will get the same treatment by the white club because your not protestant nor part of the white race and as such your trying to impress them in vain. You will learn just like saddam, mubarak, qaddafi etc learnd.
