As the vehicle was passing the security force, three armed males began to raise their weapons. Declaring hostile intent, the security force fired at the men as the vehicle passed by. The vehicle came to a stop a short time later and the occupants attempted to flee into the surrounding hillside.   The combined force pursued the men and located one wounded man shortly afterwards. The force immediately provided medical aid, but the man died of his wounds.   One man was detained during the operation.
