Khadafy indicted for kidnap of imam

Lebanon has indicted Libyan leader Muammar Khadafy and is seeking his arrest for an alleged role in the disappearance of a prominent Lebanese Shi'ite Muslim leader 30 years ago, according to judicial documents.

Lebanese Shi'ites say Libya kidnapped Imam Musa Al-Sadr and two of his aides during a visit to the North African country in 1978. Libya says Sadr left the country safely. He is widely believed to have been killed shortly after he was seized.
