A Lebanese judge postponed Monday the questioning of a Lebanese-American who confessed he'd worked for Israel during its occupation of southern Lebanon, state-run National News Agency reported.
The agency said that because Amer Fakhoury is undergoing chemotherapy treatment for cancer, the investigative judge's questioning session will be postponed until Feb. 17.
Fakhoury was detained after returning to his native Lebanon from the U.S. in September. He had worked as a senior warden at the Khiam Prison that was run by the Israeli-backed South Lebanon Army, until Israel ended its 18-year occupation of the area in 2000.
