Al-Alwani killing splits divides

The Lebanese investigation into the killing of former Iraqi MP Ahmed al-Alwani in Beirut is continuing, amid conflicting accounts of who was responsible. His cousin accused Hezbollah without presenting publicly disclosed evidence, while another account—that a Sunni political figure had contacted him—has not been verified. The timestamps on surveillance-camera footage have raised questions about the movements of people near the apartment on the day he arrived, November 5. However, the media office said the timestamps do not establish when the crime took place and called for the footage and related data to be reviewed. Neither the motive for the killing nor the perpetrators’ identities have been established. A judicial source said investigators are examining the possibility of a political motive or a tribal vendetta, while a legal expert noted that the Lebanese judiciary has jurisdiction over the case.
