Lebanese Delegation Heads to Libya to Uncover Fate of Imam al-Sadr

A Lebanese delegation will head to Libya on Sunday to meet with National Transitional Council officials after the death of ousted leader Moammar Gadhafi, An Nahar newspaper reported.
The delegation will discuss the latest investigations undertaken by the NTC to unveil the fate of missing Imam Moussa al-Sadr, An Nahar said Friday.
Haitham Joumaa, the director-general of the ministry of the displaced, will head the delegation that will include a judge and an officer.
The daily remarked that Foreign Minister Adnan Mansour will go on an official visit later on to Libya for the same cause.
Head of Tripoli's supreme military council Abdelhakim Belhaj stressed in an interview with BBC Arabic that “reliable information” indicates that al-Sadr is buried in a “farm” south of the Libyan capital.
However, a previously published report on an Iranian website said that al-Sadr and his two companions Sheikh Mohammed Yacoub and journalist Abbas Badreddine were killed upon their abduction by the Gadhafi regime and their bodies were thrown into the sea after being attached to cement blocks.
In 1978, al-Sadr and his companions flew to Tripoli for a week of talks with Libyan officials. They were never seen or heard from again. The day he was last seen, on Aug. 31, 1978, is still marked annually in Lebanon.
At the time, the previous Libyan regime insisted al-Sadr and his aides left on a flight to Rome at the end of their visit and suggested the imam fell victim to an inter-Shiite power struggle.

33 years too late...
Why no STL fo Assadr? Dani Chamoun? rachid karame? the 100.000 killed during civil war?
Lebanon has no future unless amnesty law supported by harririr sr. is REVOKED. His death was a punishment for protecting and working with ex-warlord criminals.

Jabalamel wake up and don't assume your brainwashing resistance translates into reality for anyone but small minded individuals like you. The only thing your so called resistance is good at, is not allowing lebanon to live in peace. Long live lebanon the free and the loyal to our country alone.

True he is no saint, but he is the next best thing! And we are not followers, we are free people who made the choice of supporting a cause, a follower is a slave something we surely are not!!
To some 33 years maybe enough to call it quits, but what they don't comprehend is that this man was a father and a leader to many of us, and his case will not be forgotten nor will it be let go, it will be carried on from generation to generation and if it isn't us who unveil this mystery it will be free ones who exist after we're gone!
And to he who believes he is of higher importance than the rest of mankind, to he who gave himself the right to evaluate, classify and define them as small minded individuals, you my friend are defining yourself no more!!
