With that lead, the police quickly found Munir ("Joe") Sirhan, 20, in Nash's Department Store. Joe, said Chief Reddin, was "very cooperative." He and Adel Sirhan, 29, identified the prisoner as their brother, Sirhan Bishara Sirhan, 24, who goes by the nickname Sol. The identification was confirmed by a check of fingerprints taken when Sirhan applied for a state racetrack...
...mountaintop palace, Moghabghab's car, just behind it, rounded the bend. Among the hundreds of Druses lining the road, shouting and cheering, someone recognized their old enemy. Within seconds, Moghabghab's car was surrounded. His driver leaped out, ran off to attract the attention of General Adel Chehab, commander in chief of the army, who was just a few yards ahead.
