Naharnet - Karam Faces Military Court Trial


State Prosecutor Saeed Mirza obtained early Monday the case file of Israeli spy Fayez Karam.The state-run National News Agency said Mirza, after studying the file, referred Karam, a retired army officer, at noon to the military court for prosecution. Karam is also a senior official with Michel Aoun's Free Patriotic Movement. He was arrested earlier this month on suspicion of spying for Israel. Karam, 62, graduated from the military school in 1972 as lieutenant. He held several leadership positions in the army, including head of the counter-terror and spying bureau. Karam quit the military after Aoun was forced into exile in France in 1991. He returned with Aoun to Lebanon in 2005 when Syria withdrew its troops after a 29-year hegemony.
