Security forces closed down the main roads into near Morgandad’s Stadium yesterday to search vehicles for unregistered weapons and ammunition. Armored vehicles and Humvees surrounded the area, halting traffic and enforcing that all cars pass through the checkpoint. To ensure full compliance, helicopters circled the area during the three hour checkpoint.
Pairs of soldiers approached each car with weapons in hand, and then escorted the drivers out and restrained them. One team searched the driver and another team surrounded the car, searching everything from the glove box to the trunk to hood. Drivers that did not comply were swarmed as the soldiers yelled and pointed pistols into the windows. If cleared, a green sticker was placed on the rear window.
If the teams discovered weapons in hidden in the car, the driver and the passengers were forced into an armored vehicle and taken to an undisclosed location for continued questioning. What happened to the driver after that is not known at this time.
