Circumstances of the Disappearance
Father Sleiman went missing with Father Albert Sherfan and their helper Victoria Daccache. On 13 October 1990, it was reported that the Syrian forces took up a position near the monastery because of its strategic position overlooking the Matn districts and other areas. The two priests disappeared on the same day together with their helper and some soldiers of the Lebanese army who had apparently taken refuge in the monastery.
