Vanished in Libya: The mystery of Shia cleric Musa al-Sadr - BBC World Service Documentaries

In August 1978, Musa al-Sadr, charismatic leader of Lebanon's Shia community, vanished suddenly during a visit to Libya. Now, #BBCEye presents significant new evidence that may hold the clue to the cleric's fate.    Click here to subscribe to our channel 👉🏽 https://bbc.in/3VyyriM   Imam Musa al-Sadr's disappearance sent shock waves through the Middle East and politicians and journalists demanded answers from the Libyan leader, Muammar Gaddafi. Yet, as BBC journalist Moe Shreif reports, despite dozens of subsequent journalistic and governmental investigations and many conspiracy theories, no trace of Sadr has been discovered since that fateful day almost 47 years ago.   This film by BBC Eye Investigations presents dramatic new evidence that may hold the clue to the cleric's fate. It reveals how, in 2011, Kassem Hamadé, a Lebanese reporter, managed to find a secret morgue in Tripoli. There he found a corpse he had been told was that of Musa al-Sadr. It was said to have been stored in the morgue for more than 30 years. In the film, the BBC subjects a photograph of the face of the corpse to a facial recognition algorithm developed by Professor Hassan Ugail at the University of Bradford.    In 2023, the BBC team travelled to Libya to find out what happened just after the last time Sadr was known to have been seen in public, and to visit the mosque in Tripoli where, they had been told, the cleric and Gaddafi had encountered each other. The team managed to locate the building that had contained the morgue Kassem identified in 2011. They planned to film there the next day, but that night they were told their filming permits had been revoked. The following morning, a group of unidentified men - who the team later learnt were officers from the Libyan intelligence service - seized the BBC team though they were filming in Tripoli with full official authorisation. For six days the team were kept in solitary confinement and interrogated.   The film goes on to examine claims that radical Islamist Iranian revolutionaries and Palestinian guerillas may have encouraged Gaddafi to kill Sadr. It also asks what happened to a sample containing DNA which Kassem Hamadé took from the body in the morgue. He gave the sample for analysis to the office of Nabih Berri, the Speaker of the Lebanese parliament and leader of the Amal movement, which has always maintained that Musa al-Sadr is alive and being held in a Libyan prison. Almost 50 years on, the imam’s fate remains a matter of extreme sensitivity.   00:00 Introduction: The Mystery of Musa al-Sadr 02:46 Lebanon 1968: Saviour in a snowstorm 06:22 The Movement of the Deprived: Leading social reform 08:37 Service for all: Political consequences of a non-sectarian approach 10:08 'They shot at him several times...he didn't have bodyguards' 11:30 Amal: Forming an armed military movement 12:38 Mystery of the morgue: 'Why preserve a corpse that has no significance?' 18:05 Deep face recognition: Verifying identities of the dead 21:50 Trapped in Tripoli 28:44 Libyan Intelligence arrest and detain BBC team for 'espionage' 30:32 Debrief after detainment: Insights from interrogation 33:09 Disappeared or deceased?
