BEIRUT: The Internal Security Forces engaged in a shootout with a man wanted on drug dealing charges in the Beirut suburbs highway leading to the Rafik Hariri Airport, the ISF reported Monday. Following the shootout, the ISF arrested a 38-year-old man identified by the initials of N.S. who was charged with drug dealing. According to the ISF report, the arrest took place following a violent shootout between the ISF patrol on the highway and the fleeing man. “After he [N.S.] opened fire with a Glock 9mm rifle on the patrol and wounded one of the policemen, the ISF fired back and wounded him,” the report said.
