3 brothers held: The General Department of Public Relations and Security Media in a statement said police have arrested three brothers — Abdulmohsen and Yousef Ali (both believed to be 31 years old) and Mohammed, 32, assaulting police on duty and referred them to the concerned authorities, according to press release issued by the Ministry of Interior.

The suspect refused and as he tried in vain to escape he collided with another vehicle in Keifan and was forced to stop. At this point the two other brothers arrived at the scene and began to assault the securitymen in a vain attempt to allow their brother to escape. According to police, Yusuf is wanted by law for failing to pay KD 3,000 debts and had been sentenced in absentia to a prison term.
