BEIRUT: The head of Libya’s rebel National Transitional Council said that he had evidence connected to the 1978 disappearance of Iranian-born Lebanese Imam Musa Sadr.
“We have enough evidence and witnesses that can lead us to the truth,” NTC President Mustafa Abdul-Jalil told the Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Anbaa. “But this is an [issue] for the future, when we liberate the entire Libyan territory,” Abdul-Jalil added.
Sadr, the founder of Amal Movement, went missing on Aug. 31, 1978, along with his two companions, Sheikh Mohammad Yacoub and journalist Abbas Badreddine, during a visit to Libya.
An Amal Movement source told The Daily Star that Abdul-Jalil’s information was not new to the movement. “A meeting was held between representatives from Amal and others from the council, during which this matter was discussed” he said. “[The remarks] are additional evidence that [Libya’s leader] Moammar Gadhafi and his aides are involved in the kidnapping.”
