Regarding the story about Musa As-Sadr and Shah of Iran in today's New York Times: A close family friend of Musa As-Sadr (and the son of one of the major contributors to As-Sadr in Lebanon) just informed me that As-Sadr said in front of him (he thinks it was in 1977) that the Shah's government actually stripped him of his Iranian citizenship and invalidated his Iranian passport.
