More documents prove Sharon's involvement in Sabra, Chatilla massacres
Israel-Belgium, Politics, 11/29/2001

Lawyer Michael Verstratin of Suad Srour and other Palestinian survivors from the Sabra and Chatilla massacres stressed in the case filed against the Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon who is accused together with other Israeli army officers of committing the crime of 1982, that he is optimist over this case towards approving the ability of the Belgian court to consider this case.

In a statement issued on Wednesday in the Lebanese daily al-Mustaqbal, lawyer Verstratin explained that the pressures made on Belgium to close this file are not legal because they are a violation to signed international treaties.

He continued:" I am very optimist over our success because the law is clear and it is in our interests one hundred percent." Meantime, a well-informed sources told al-Mustaqbal that the Belgian investigation judge Patrick Colinion who is in the authority to investigate the case filed against Dharon got copied from secret appendixes to the investigations which the Israeli Kahana committee had made with Sharon when he was a war minister in Israel during the Israeli invasion of Lebanon.

The source explained that these documents which are translated from Hebrew to English fall into 600 pages and include very secret appendixes and were not published in the Kahana's general report and these documents also include evidences on Sharon's involvement. The side which sent these documents was not identified.
