I have absolutely no idea what village my father comes from...I just know that his name is Samir Mortada, that he is of the Shiite faith and that his family occupied the traditional settlement areas of his community (North Bekaa, south Beirut, south Lebanon, etc.)
He was planning to go to Canada, but I have absolutely no idea if this project came to fruition. No mention of a hospital or liberal practitioner in his name in Lebanon or abroad
I also know that one of his brothers was allegedly executed in May 1981 by the Kataeb at Beirut airport.
I went to Lebanon two years ago and I was able to converse with some locals bearing his surname or being affiliated to it by alliance, but without gleaning the slightest information concerning him. I'm willing to resolve to his disappearance but I would like to have confirmation
