ERBIL, Kurdistan Region — A police officer has told Rudaw that he was shot in front of his family home in Sulaimani on Thursday, alleging that he was shot at by the son of an official he did not name.Sheikhal Ibrahim, an emergency and defense police officer in Sulaimani, was driving home from a sports hang-out with two of his children when he was surrounded by “more than 15” armed men, among them “the son of this official”. Ibrahim told Rudaw’s Horvan Rafaat that the man “tightened his hand around my neck and started firing”. “He also shot at my mom – my mom went towards him, and he fired at her, my wife, my sons, at all of them.” Ibrahim, who received a minor head injury as a result of the attack, refused to name the alleged assailant, but asked his father to “turn in his son” and the armed men that accompanied him. Ibrahim’s mother and son were also injured. Ibrahim fired back at the attackers, but accidentally shot a driver passing by in a car similar to that of the assailant at the time of the attack. The passer-by has been hospitalized for his injuries. Posted by: badanov 2021-02-05 |
