The Mystery of the Final Hours: Ahmed Al-Alwani's Office Reveals Details of Beirut Trip

The media office of former Iraqi MP Ahmed Al-Alwani revealed a chronological sequence of details regarding his last trip to the Lebanese capital, Beirut, prior to his killing. The statement relied on flight data, surveillance camera recordings, and details of the last documented call Al-Alwani made with the office.

In a statement, the office clarified that Al-Alwani arrived in Beirut on Thursday, November 5, 2026, aboard Middle East Airlines (MEA) flight ME325 from Erbil, which landed at Rafic Hariri International Airport at 16:41.

It added that available surveillance camera recordings showed individuals leaving the apartment at 16:55, approximately 14 minutes after the plane's arrival. Preliminary information suggested they returned to the building around 23:00, before cameras recorded their departure again at 23:57.

Regarding the last communication with Al-Alwani, the office disclosed that the final documented call took place at 21:05 and lasted two minutes and thirty seconds. During this call, he informed the office of his arrival in Beirut but did not provide details about his accommodation or how he traveled from the airport.

The office demanded that Lebanese security and judicial authorities identify the individuals who appeared in the surveillance recordings, review footage from the airport, the building, and surrounding roads to verify Al-Alwani's movement path and time of arrival at his residence, as well as cross-reference the timing of the last call with other forensic evidence.

It also called on the Iraqi government, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the embassy in Beirut to follow up on the case and coordinate with Lebanese authorities, stressing the necessity of exposing all those involved in the crime. It warned against treating initial timings and information as definitive proof of the time of the crime or the identity of the perpetrators.

The office emphasized that determining the time of death falls under the jurisdiction of forensic medicine and criminal investigation, denying the accuracy of any details attributed to it unless officially issued by them.
