Lebanese-American to Be Prosecuted for Working for Israel

Associated Press

   BEIRUT - A Lebanese-American man was referred Friday to prosecutors
   after confessing he'd worked for Israel during its occupation of
   Lebanon for nearly two decades, a Lebanese security agency said.
   Amer Fakhoury was detained after returning to his native Lebanon from
   the United States earlier this month. He had worked as a senior warden
   at the Khiam Prison in southern Lebanon that was run by an
   Israeli-backed militia, known as the South Lebanon Army, until Israel
   ended an 18-year occupation of the area in 2000.

   Lebanon and Israel have been officially at war since Israel's creation
   in 1948.
