Maamoon Sami Rasheed al-Alwani (born 1957) is an Iraqi politician, who served as governor of the Al Anbar province.

[8] The following month, Alwani expressed to reporters that his primary concern was that a sectarian-divided Iraq would inspire meddling from Iran and other neighboring countries.

He also invited private investors from the US to help develop Anbar's oil and natural reserves in the southern Akaz region.

[10] On 18 August 2005, insurgents opened fire on the governor and a group of prominent Sunni Muslim clerics as they were meeting in Ramadi.

Witnesses said Alwani was holding talks with members of the Muslim Clerics Association in Ramadi's Al Dawla al-Kabeer mosque when the gunmen opened fire.
