Reports emerged of the body of former Iraqi MP Ahmed Al-Alwani being found murdered inside a residential apartment in the Tareeq El-Jadida area of Beirut.

A security source told "Al-Nahar" that the body, suspected to be that of former Iraqi MP Ahmed Al-Alwani, is believed to have remained at the location where it was discovered for more than a day.

Lebanese security authorities are awaiting the results of DNA tests to confirm the identity of the body and announce details related to the case.

According to circulating information, Al-Alwani was kidnapped and detained inside the apartment before being found strangled to death, while the backgrounds and motives of the crime remain unknown so far.

Informed Iraqi sources had earlier told "Al-Nahar" on Tuesday that "the Iraqi Embassy in Beirut received information from the family of prominent Sunni politician and former Iraqi MP Ahmed Al-Alwani, stating that news of him had been cut off for four days, his phones were turned off, and he had lost contact even with his companions."

According to the sources, "Lebanese security agencies are conducting search and investigation operations for Al-Alwani," while noting that "the Iraqi Embassy is following up on the file and continuously communicating with higher authorities in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad."

For his part, a Lebanese security source confirmed to "Al-Nahar" that security agencies received a report about losing contact with Al-Alwani after he entered Lebanon, and that the matter is being followed up.
