16Apr10

Maronite Patriarch Nasrallah Sfeir has said he will seek to raise the issue of missing Shiite Imam Moussa Sadr during a visit to the Vatican scheduled for April 22.

“The missing Imam was a man of peace and dialogue. He worked to reunite the Lebanese,” Sfeir told a visiting Italian delegation.

His absence was a loss to everyone as he was a symbol for both Muslims and Christians since he called for Christian-Muslim dialogue,” Sfeir recalled.
