The judiciary on Tuesday interrogated three suspects on charges of spreading misguiding information regarding an alleged mass grave in the northern region of Halat and released them pending completion of the investigation. Regional Prosecutor for Mount Lebanon Ghassan Oueidat also ordered the interrogation of journalist Manal Shaayaa in connection with reporting on the alleged mass grave, but she failed to report to his office pending interference by the newspaper editors' syndicate. The three were identified as Jacqueline Elias al-Rai, Milad al-Rai and Joseph Abi Sharr. They were interrogated for four hours and released pending completion of the investigation, a reliable source said. The interrogation was launched after a police force completed excavations in the site in search of the alleged mass grave, but found nothing. The state-run National News Agency said the search for the alleged mass grave ended by 3 p.m. after digging through 80 meters of the highway in the northern Halat region "without finding a trace to the (alleged) mass grave." MPs Shamel Mouzaya and Abbas Hashem, members of Gen. Michel Aoun's Change and Reform Bloc, expressed reservation regarding the whole search operation. Mouzaya said the operation was carried out "without proper measures." He called for expanding the search by three meters towards the east and west from the center of the highway. He described the search effort as "play acting." Hashem also said the operation should have sought the help of "experts in criminology."
