Khaberni - In the days leading up to Eid al-Fitr, Jordanians bid farewell to three Public Security officers who ascended as martyrs to duty during a security raid targeting one of the dangerous wanted individuals involved in drug cases east of the capital, Amman.
The spokesman for the Public Security Directorate said that a force from the Anti-Narcotics Department carried out, this morning, a raid on the wanted individual, who immediately started firing at the forces, resulting in the martyrdom of First Lieutenant Murad Masoud Al-Mawajdeh, Sergeant Khaldoun Ahmed Al-Raqab, and Corporal Subhi Mohammed Dweikat, and injuring another non-commissioned officer who was transferred to the hospital and is under treatment.
He added that the force managed to deal with and control the wanted individual, arresting him and seizing three firearms, in addition to quantities of narcotics pills and three blocks of hashish, crystal substances, and marijuana.
The Public Security Directorate confirmed, as it mourns the nation's martyrs, that it is continuing its duty to maintain public security and order, and to pursue anyone trying to spread these poisons or engage in their trade, praying for mercy and forgiveness for the martyrs, patience and solace for their families, and a speedy recovery for the injured.
