Tripoli to release new information about Imam Sadr’s fate: Libyan official

TEHRAN, April 16 (MNA) – Nasser Al-Mana, the spokesman for the Libyan transitional government said new clues about the fate of Imam Musa al-Sadr and his companions have been found. He also said that according to information obtained from the security offices of the former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi’s regime, Imam Sadr and his companions had been killed by Gaddafi forces. He added that the Libyan government will release new details in this relation in the coming few days. In August 1978, Imam Sadr departed for Libya with two companions to meet officials of the Gaddafi government. They were never heard from again, and many believe they met with foul play at the hands of Gaddafi.
