Shafaq News/ A biker succumbed to his injuries following an armed confrontation with a security force on patrol duty earlier today, Sunday.
A source, speaking under condition of anonymity, said that a man on a motorcycle instigated a brawl with patrol members and managed to disarm one of the officers, turning their weapon against them before escaping to an unknown location.
Interior Minister Abdul Amir Al-Shammari, according to the source, promptly assembled a task force to locate and apprehend the suspect.
"Following his directives, the team swiftly zeroed in on the perpetrator, cornering him in the vicinity of al-Rashidia," the source said.
