Beirut – Follow:
The case of the murder of former Iraqi MP Ahmed Suleiman Al-Alwani entered the stage of direct judicial follow-up in Lebanon, after his body was found inside a residential apartment in the “New Road” area in the capital, Beirut.
The Iraqi ambassador to Lebanon, Muhammad Reda Al-Husseini, confirmed in a statement to the Iraqi News Agency “INA” on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, that the embassy is following the investigation in coordination with the Lebanese security services, awaiting the issuance of the final report to uncover the circumstances of the crime. Al-Husseini explained that the Lebanese judiciary took over the file and opened an official investigation, assigning a special judge to follow up on it.
At the judicial and security levels in Lebanon, the Public Prosecutor at the Court of Cassation, Judge Ahmed Rami Al-Hajj, personally supervises the initial investigations conducted by the Information Division of the Internal Security Forces, with the aim of clarifying the circumstances of the crime and identifying the perpetrators.
The Lebanese security services began searching for Al-Alwani after receiving a report from the Iraqi side stating that contact with him had been cut off, his phones had been switched off, and he was unable to be contacted even by his companions, in direct coordination with the Iraqi embassy in Beirut.
In the same context, private information from the “Lebanon Debate” website reported that Alwani’s body was found inside the aforementioned apartment, amid data indicating that he was killed by suffocation after being lured by a group of people, waiting for the final official report to be issued to confirm these details.
It is noteworthy that Ahmed Suleiman Al-Alwani is a former Iraqi MP from Anbar Governorate. He served as Chairman of the Economic Committee in the Iraqi Parliament, and was known for his political positions opposing Iranian influence in Iraq. As the Lebanese investigations continue, the Iraqi official authorities are awaiting the final results to determine the motives of the crime and the identity of those involved.
