Moussa Sadr, the spiritual leader of Lebanon's Shia community, disappeared while visiting Libya in 1978. Sadr's son filed a suit in Beirut last month against Gaddafi and 17 other Libyans. Lebanese officials say they have new information about people allegedly involved in Sadr's disappearance. Two of Sadr's assistants, Sheik Mohammed Yacoub and Abbas Badreddine, disappeared with him. Their wives joined Sadreddine Sadr in filing the complaint. A lawyer for the families said the suit contained "claims that clarify that some people have taken part in this crime". The 17 other officials will also be summoned, including former prime minister Abdel Salam Jalloud. Lebanon claims Sadr disappeared after an argument with Mr Gaddafi. Libya says the cleric boarded a plane for Rome, but the Italian authorities denied that he ever arrived. The on-going case has soured relations between the two countries. Libya closed its embassy in Beirut last year, claiming that it was insulted by Lebanese pressure to reveal Mr Sadr's fate. Gaddafi did not attend an Arab summit in Beirut in 2002 after he was threatened by Lebanese Shia groups who claimed Libya was responsible for Sadr's disappearance. � 2003 - 2004 @ Guardian Newspapers Limited (All Rights Reserved).  Powered by dnetsystems.net dnet�
