Police arrests citizen who attacked cops
Cop killer sentenced; Al-Fali deported
Security forces arrested a citizen who attacked earlier police officers while trying to arrest him after committing several traffic violations, the Interior ministry said in a statement on Saturday.
Al-Jahra security patrols tried to stop a vehicle in AlOuyoon area after its driver committed several traffic violations, the statement said, adding when the driver stopped he turned out to be in an abnormal condition and when security men tried to arrest him a crowd of people gathered in the place, enabling him to escape.
The accused assaulted security men and tried to escape, the statement noted. The statement pointed out that security men managed to arrest the accused, a citizen, and later data inquiring on the vehicle appeared to show various violations by the driver.
Meanwhile, the criminal court yesterday sentenced to death a citizen who deliberately ran over a policeman and killed him during the National Day celebrations last year. The verdict was passed after the forensic medicine report confirmed that the defendant was fully aware and responsible for his actions and after hearing his confessions that clearly showed he had fallen under the influence of radical terrorist groups.
Separately, the Ministry of Interior said Saturday it deported Mohammad Al-Fali after entering Kuwait with a different name and false personal information. The security authorities discovered the real identity of Fali “and he was immediately deported in less than 24 hours of his attempt to enter the country,” the ministry said in a statement. It urged social media users to refrain from publishing “false” information about Fali issue. The ministry did not elaborate on the case of Fali.
