Sadr case … Lebanon Judiciary promises 'major leap forward'

By: Karim Tellawi

BEIRUT, Lebanon: Lebanese judiciary has promised "a major leap forward" in investigations into the mystery of disappearance of Ayatullah Mousa As-Sadr.

Last week, Samih Hajj, the judicial investigator handling the case, handed a detailed report on an Italian investigation into the file to the justice minister and state prosecutor.

Sadr and his two companions Sheikh Mohammad Yacoub and journalist Abbas Badreddine traveled to Libya in August 1978 to meet with officials from Moammar Gadhafi's government.

They were never heard from again. It is widely believed that the founder of the Higher Shiite Council was killed on Gadhafi's orders, but Libya has consistently denied responsibility, claiming Sadr and his companions boarded a plane and flew to Italy after their meetings.

Hajj returned in July from a month in Rome spent following up on the Italian judiciary's probe.

BEIRUT, Lebanon: Lebanon's Shiites are committed to Lebanon as their sole country under the Taif Accord and will defend it by all democratic means to move it from a phase of divided powers to a sovereign state.
