Lebanese authorities are questioning a taxi driver and apartment renters as they investigate the death of the former Iraqi parliament member.

- Public prosecutor Judge Ahmad Rami al-Haj is following the investigation, the National News Agency reported, while police intelligence questions the taxi driver who transported Al-Alwani from the airport.
- Coordination with senior authorities in Baghdad continues as the Iraqi Embassy in Beirut follows the case, while Lebanese security agencies search for circumstantial clarity and potential motives.
