Syrian Shot Dead near Army Air Base after Failing to Stop at Checkpoint
A Syrian motorcyclist was shot dead Thursday near an army air base in the North after failing to stop at a checkpoint, state-run National News Agency reported.
“Army troops opened fire from their checkpoint near the Qlayaat Air Base at a motorcyclist who did not heed their repeated calls for him to stop,” NNA said.
The man, who turned out to be Syrian, was critically wounded in the incident before he succumbed to his injuries at the al-Kheir Hospital in the northern town of Minieh, the agency added.
