BEIRUT: The Libyan authorities have designated the country’s
Higher Security Committee to follow up on the disappearance of Imam Musa Sadr,
the director general of the Foreign Affairs Ministry Haissam Joumaa said
Friday.
The National News Agency reported that Jomaa had briefed Foreign
Affairs Minister Adnan Mansour about his recent visit to Libya as part of the
ministry's delegation to follow up on the case of Sadr, the influential Shiite
leader who disappeared in 1978 while on a visit to Libya along with two
companions.
The delegation traveled to Libya on Oct. 23, days after deposed
Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi, who was indicted by Lebanon’s Judicial Council
over the disappearance of Sadr, was captured and killed by rebels.
Jomaa was quoted as saying that the Libyan authorities were
"determined to pursue the case to the fullest."
“The case is receiving serious follow up on a daily basis until
the truth is revealed with the return of the Imam Sadr and his two companions,”
the NNA was quoted Mansour as saying.
The
relationship between Lebanon and Libya was severed under Gadhafi’s rule, but
ties resumed after the National Transitional Council was formally recognized by
Lebanon in late August. The two parties have vowed to improve ties between the
two countries as well as resolve Sadr’s case.
