Lebanon

A Lebanese man and a boy sit in front of pictures depicting Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, left, top Shiite imam Moussa al-Sadr, right, and Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, center, with an Arabic saying for al-Sadr that reads :' the Islamic Christian coexistence is a treasure that we should hang on to,' in Beirut, Lebanon, Friday, Aug. 8, 2008. The country's top Shiite imam vanished during a mystery-shrouded trip to Libya on Aug. 31, 1978. Thirty years later his disappearance remains a burning issue for Lebanon's Shiites, including Hezbollah -- an indication of his potency as a symbol for a community that has become a major player but still insists it hasn't been given the say it deserves in Lebanon.
