Lebanese Cleric Charged with Spying

Government Commissioner to the Military Tribunal Judge Saqr Saqr charged the secretary-general of the so-called Arabic-Islamic Council Sheikh Mohammed Ali Ismail al-Husseini with spying for the Israeli enemy on Wednesday.
The army intelligence detained al-Husseini last week after suspecting that he had collaborated with the Israeli Mossad.
Saqr issued the charges under article 278 of the penal code which stipulates hard labor from three to ten years and article 72 for carrying weapons.
The judge referred al-Husseini to the first military examining magistrate.
