SULAIMANIYA / Aswat al-Iraq: Sulaimaniya Mayor Zana Mohammad Saleh, arrested in a bribery case, committed suicide on Saturday inside Asayesh department jail, a security source said.

 

The Sulaimaniya court decided last Sunday to arrest the mayor as he was accused in a bribery case.

 

Around 300 persons of his relatives gathered in front of the court, forcing security forces to open fire in the air to disperse them.

 

He was arrested while leaving the court and the forces took them to the Asayesh forces building, one of his relatives told Aswat al-Iraq news agency.
