GENEVA, Switzerland (Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Ebaa News reported that African sources residing in Geneva have asserted Ayatollah Sayed Mussa As-Sadr was seen in Libya two months ago.
Iran’s Fars news agency quoted information committee for Imam Mussa Sadr that the African source has confirmed citing Libyan army men that Sadr is alive.
Iranian-born Lebanese philosopher and prominent Shia leader who founded the Amal movement, now led by Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, disappeared while in Libya with two of his companions, Mohammed Yaqoub and Abbas Badreddine, in 1978.
They were scheduled to meet with officials from the government of the Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi's. There has been no trace of them since.
Gaddafi insists that the three men left for Italy on August 31, 1978 after their stay in Tripoli and that his administration has no idea what became of them afterwards.
