“Investigations conducted by Libya’s judiciary into the circumstances of missing Imam Moussa Sadr and his two companions Sheikh Mohammad Yacoub and journalist Abbas Badreddine in 1978 will reveal for the first time important details,” Abdul Jalil told Dubai-based al-Arabiya news network.
“Investigations have been finalized from our side and we are expecting the Lebanese authorities to declare the DNA results of a sample of a dead body which is thought to be that of Imam Sadr, and we already provided them with this sample,” the senior Libyan official said.
Imam Musa Sadr and his two companions were abducted in August 1978 during an official visit to the Libyan capital Tripoli to meet with officials from the government of Muammar Gaddafi.
The Lebanese Shia cleric of Iranian descent is widely believed to have been abducted on the orders of former Libyan officials.
