Musa al-Sadr disappearance: Libyan investigation files lack new evidence
On the 48th anniversary of the disappearance of Imam Musa al-Sadr and his two companions in Libya, Lebanese officials report that the investigation remains stalled. Judge Hassan al-Shami, a rapporteur for the official follow-up committee, stated that the investigation file recently handed over by Libyan authorities contains no new information and is incomplete, with many documents still missing.
New information has emerged suggesting that al-Sadr may have been held in a private prison belonging to Abdullah al-Senussi, a prominent figure of the former Libyan regime. Although al-Senussi has been in a Libyan prison since 2012, the Lebanese committee noted that the current file lacks sufficient evidence of a thorough investigation into his potential involvement.
The case has seen recent developments regarding Hannibal Gaddafi, who was released in Lebanon after paying a 900,000 dollar bail. His release has been viewed as closing a potential avenue for uncovering the fate of the Imam.
Separately, Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, marking the anniversary, reaffirmed his rejection of any Israeli-imposed security or buffer zones in southern Lebanon, emphasizing national sovereignty and the rights of the Lebanese state.
