Mansour Denies Libyan Claims on Al-Sadr Remains
Lebanese Foreign Minister, Adnan Mansour, denied Friday recent quoted news by a Libyan official about finding the remains of Sayyed Moussa al-Sadr.
"Such news lacks accuracy and there is no clear-cut proof over the revealed information's precision," Mansour asserted pointing out that "he had previously agreed with the Libyan side not to let out any information to the public until investigations reach their final course."
He further expressed surprise on the news as "it hinders the course of investigations prior to their end."
"This is being tackled through diplomatic channels. To-date, we are still within the framework of ongoing investigations and exchange of information; hence, such news is viewed as lacking precision," Mansour highlighted.
Mansour's statement came in response to head of Libya's ruling National Transitional Council Mustafa Abdul Jalil declaration that "the Libyan authorities have obtained semi-confirmed information about the presence of Imam Moussa Sadr's body in a recently discovered mass grave in the Libyan capital Tripoli."
