Security and judicial sources told "Al-Jadeed" that Prosecutor General Judge Ahmad Rami al-Haj requested Syrian prosecutors to hand over two Syrians linked to the investigation into the murder of former Iraqi MP Ahmed Al-Alwani. He also ordered an X-ray of the victim's neck to determine the cause of death.

In the context of the investigation, a security source told "Al-Jadeed" that Lebanese and Iraqi phone numbers suspected of being involved in the crime are being tracked.

The source indicated that the former Iraqi MP arrived in Lebanon with only $3,000, weakening the hypothesis that he was killed for robbery, while all possibilities remain open, including political or personal motives.

He added that the MP's son confirmed to security authorities that his father had received an invitation from a figure to meet him in Lebanon and intended to travel to London afterward.
