Revered Lebanese spiritual leader Musa Sadr, who went missing in Libya in 1978, was “liquidated” at the time, a former aide to Muammar Qaddafi said Wednesday.

The fate of the Iranian-born Shiite cleric has been unknown since he vanished during a trip to Libya aimed at negotiating an end to Lebanon's 1975-1990 civil war.


Ahmed Ramadan, one of the most influential people in Qaddafi’s entourage, said Wednesday on Al-Aan television that Sadr disappeared following a meeting with the late Libyan dictator soon after arriving in Tripoli.
