Murder of former Iraqi MP in Beirut raises concerns about power of Iran-backed terror - analysis
"All indications suggest that the computer system at Rafik Hariri Airport in Beirut was hacked by Lebanese Hezbollah," Ahmed al-Alwani's cousin Ammar told Rudaw.
The murder of former Iraqi MP Ahmed al-Alwani in Beirut has sparked concerns over the influence of Iran-backed terror groups in the region. Al-Alwani, a prominent Sunni politician from Iraq's Anbar province, was found dead in Lebanon on November 10, and his death has shocked his family and supporters. Although Lebanese authorities are investigating the case, no evidence has been made public to confirm Hezbollah's involvement.
The allegations against Hezbollah have heightened political tensions in Iraq, with Iraqi and Sunni political figures mourning al-Alwani's death and calling for accountability. The killing has also raised questions about Lebanon's ability to ensure security and protect its citizens, as Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam vowed to investigate the case strictly according to the law.
