Sleiman to miss Arab summit over imam Sadr Libya feud

President Michel Sleiman will skip an Arab League summit in Libya later this month because of a diplomatic spat over the disappearance of an influential Lebanese cleric 32 years ago, a government official said Friday.

“President Sleiman will not take part in the summit in Libya based on a request by Speaker of Parliament Nabih Berri,” Agence France Presse quoted the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, as saying.

The official said it remained to be seen who would represent Lebanon at the Arab League summit, which is scheduled from March 27-28. “With two weeks left before the summit, Lebanon has yet to receive an official invitation,” they said.
