Lebanon seeking arrest of Gaddafi over missing Shi'ite leader
By DPA
Tags: Lebanon, Amal, Moamer Gaddafi 

Lebanon has indicted Libyan leader Moamer Gaddafi and is seeking his arrest for his alleged role in the disappearance of a Lebanese Shi'ite Muslim leader in 1978, according to Lebanese local radio Wednesday.

Lebanese Shi'ite leaders have long accused Libya of kidnapping Imam Musa al-Sadr and two of his aides during a visit to the North African country. Libya has denied such a charge on several occasions.

Lebanon's public prosecutor said in August 2004 he would open the investigation after looking into new evidence.

"We decided ... to accuse Moamer Gaddafi ... of inciting the kidnapping ... of Imam Musa al-Sadr," radio stations quoted court documents.

Sadr was the founder of the Shiite Amal Movement, from which the powerful Lebanese guerrilla movement Hezbollah later emerged.

Sadr was born in Iran in 1928 and migrated to Lebanon. He is widely believed to have been murdered.
