CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Sen. Jeanne Shaheen says a U.S. citizen has been freed from Lebanon, where he’d faced decades-old murder and torture charges. Fifty-seven-year Amer Fakhoury is a Lebanese-American restaurant owner from Dover, New Hampshire. He had been jailed since September. Lebanese officials alleged that he was responsible for the killings and abuse of prisoners as part of an Israeli-backed militia two decades ago. His case had put a significant strain on already troubled ties between the U.S. and Lebanon with lawmakers in Washington threatening to withhold critical aid to and impose sanctions on the Lebanese military.
