SULAIMANI — A senior Kurdish officer was shot and killed while on duty by a number of people near the Mosul University overpass, a Nineveh police spokesman told NRT Digital Media.

The Nineveh Police Information Director, Colonel Mazen al-Ahmadi, said on Sunday (March 19) the senior officer, Saad Hikmat Atrushi, was a brigadier general.

He said the suspects have been arrested and one of them was injured.

Ahmadi stated the killing was related to a dispute between the Kurdish officer and the suspects.

He also mentioned that so far, Nineveh police have no information as to whether the killing of the Kurdish officer is related to the killing of an Arab officer by a young man in Duhok.
