Libyan leader Moammer Gadhafi has reportedly handed over to Arab League chief Amr Moussa an investigation file on the disappearance of Imam Moussa al-Sadr.
A high-level Libyan source told pan-Arab daily Asharq al-Awsat in remarks published Wednesday that Gadhafi asked Moussa to convince Shiite authorities in Lebanon to cooperate with Tripoli's efforts to unveil the fate of al-Sadr.
The source said Libyan investigation revealed that al-Sadr left Tripoli to Rome in 1978. The Lebanese Shiite religious leader flew to Tripoli for a week of talks with Libyan officials. He was never seen or heard from again.
The source said that some Shiite parties in Lebanon reject reaching a political settlement with Libya over the issue. He told Asharq al-Awsat that Gadhafi, who is holding the rotating presidency of the Arab Summit, wants to benefit from his post to settle lingering disputes with Lebanon's Shiites.
However, Arab sources close to the Shiites said most leaderships have rejected Moussa's mediation.
