Viewer 079 identified
as a 47 to 50 |year-
old Lebanese christian who served with the Amal forces in a
capacity described as "District Manager", with the rank of Major,
until about early December 1987.
Although he was aware of the
abduction,
was not directly involved in the planning or
execution of the kidnapping of LTC Higgins. Viewer 079 described
as a somewhat short, dark, olive-complected individual
identifiable with short black hair, strong arms and the wearing
of a full beard.
Attempts to determine his name resulted in the
phonetics at Enclosure 1. Although considered somewhat powerful
at one time,
is in fact a mid-level, ineffectual, manager
whose career progression has peaked. He is married, and has
three children; his family is not with him at this time in
Beirut, his current place of employment and place of residence.
has no connections with "Hezbollah" nor does he seek
contacts with radical Shiite elements.
He considers the US as an
exploiter of Lebanon and its people. Despite his protestations
to the contrary, he is smug and satisfied with his own lot.
has never been in direct, personal contact with LTC Higgins even
though they had contacts of mutual interest operating from within
SG1A
the same milieu.
