Abbsi's wife, holy man lied about his corpse
The army has accused the wife of Shaker al-Absi and Sheikh Ali Youssef of the Islamic Scholars organization, which tried to mediate between the army and the Fatah al-Islam militants of conspiring to mislead the army and help Shaker al-Absi escape Both, the wife of Shaker al-Absi and Youssef identified the alleged corpse of Absi as that of Shaker al-Absi, the leader of Fatah Al-Islam, but the DNA tests proved otherwise. The army intends to pursue legal action against both individuals.
DNA samples were taken from the children of Absi for performing the tests. Some analysts have commented that the children may be illegitimate because Absi has spent most of his life either in jail or away from home. These analysts recommended that the DNA sample should be taken from his brother Adel Razaq al-Absi who is a physician and lives in Jordan.
PLO Sec General, Sultan Aboul Ainain has also accused the Islamic Scholars organization of misleading the Lebanese authorities and the Palestinian leadership by pretending to mediate between the army and Fatah al-Islam to end the fighting , while in actual fact they were raising funds for the Islamist terrorists and using the mediation meetings to deliver these funds.
