According to him, the head of the local police, as well as the head of the administration, who were going to meet with the sheikh of the local tribe, came under fire.
At the same time, the command of the united antiterrorist forces of Iraq stated that a special operation was being conducted in the area to capture the terrorist, which was supported from the air by the forces of the international coalition. Already when it was completed, a grenade was thrown from a neighboring house to the security forces, after which a clash occurred.
