‘Iran Majlis never closed Imam Sadr case’

By: Sheikh M Khurasani

TEHRAN, Iran: Iran plans to hold “serious negotiations” with Libya over the case of Imam Musa as-Sadr, thirty years after the Lebanese leader vanished without a trace in that North African country.

This was stated by Iranian Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Committee chief Alaeddin Borujerdi.

As-Sadr was an Iranian-born Lebanese philosopher and a prominent Shia religious leader who spent many years of his life in Lebanon as a religious and political figure.

In August 1978, Sadr and two companions departed for Libya to meet officials of Libyan leader Muammar al-Qadhafi’s government. Sadr and his companions were never heard again, and many believe they met with foul play at the hands of Qadhafi.

Borujerdi told the Iranian parliament has held some constructive meetings with Sadr’s family with the goal of determining his fate.

“The Iranian administration and Majlis are continuing the investigation of the Sadr issue and the case has never been closed,” Borujerdi stated. 


Qaddafi urged to reveal details of missing As-Sadr

BEIRUIT, Lebanon: Lebanon has urged Libyan leader Mummar Qaddafi to reveal everything that is in his knowledge about the 1978 disappearance of Shia cleric Imam Moussa as-Sadr, who went missing along with two associates during an official visit to Libya some 30 years ago.
