		Hobeika was ready to give evidence against Ariel Sharon, Israel's Prime Minister, in Belgium in March - evidence he believed would prove that the then Israeli defence minister was directly culpable for the Beirut massacre.

		Hobeika believed in Lebanon, had "always gone to help the needy'', was "never a religious fanatic'' - this from the Maronite Patriarch, Cardinal Nasrallah Sfeir - and some around the church nodded agreement, men who would have been Hobeika's age at the time of Sabra and Chatila.
