ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - Fierce clashes broke out west of Erbil province on Tuesday between Kurdish security forces and supporters of a tribal figure following an attempted arrest related to an ongoing land dispute.
Footage obtained by Rudaw shows supporters of Khurshid Harki in Qarahanjir village, in Khabat district, firing weapons and burning tires to block roads and prevent the advance of security forces.
Harki has been embroiled in a land ownership dispute with another tribal leader for several days, which has already led to armed confrontations involving light and medium weapons.
