Iraqi ambassador gives preliminary identification update as Beirut probe continues

Asharq News reports that Nawaf Salam condemned the crime that led to former Iraqi MP Ahmed al-Alwani’s death, praised judicial and security efforts to establish the circumstances, and said accountability would be pursued under the law. Iraqi Ambassador Mohammed Reda al-Husseini said initial information indicated that the body found in Beirut was al-Alwani’s. After an examination at Zahle government hospital, a DNA test was ordered for conclusive identification because decomposition prevented confirmation by appearance. The Iraqi embassy is following the Lebanese investigation.
