Sheikh Mussa Sadr
Shi'ite leader from southern Lebanon who disappeared during a 1978 visit to Libya, believed to have been killed by Libyan authorities.
Sheikh Mussa Sadr was a Shi'ite leader from southern Lebanon. He disappeared on a visit to Libya in 1978. Ari Ben-Menashe wrote that the Libyans had killed him for preaching Shi'ite Islam rather than their own brand of the religion.1
His disappearance became a point of contention during Maj. Abdul Salam Jalloud's visit to Iran after the Iranian Revolution, with Iranian hosts demanding an explanation from Col. Qaddafi's right-hand man.1
