Exceptional Promotion for Martyr Police Officer Hamza El Zaam

The Director General of National Security and Territorial Surveillance decided to grant an exceptional promotion to the martyr police officer Hamza El Zaam, who died from gunshot wounds during a security operation in the Imzouren area.
The anti-gang brigade of Al Hoceima had supported a Royal Gendarmerie brigade to arrest a 25-year-old individual wanted under 20 national arrest warrants for drug-related and violent crimes.
During the intervention, the suspect violently resisted and opened fire with a hunting rifle, fatally wounding officer Hamza El Zaam and injuring a technician.
The forces managed to neutralize the danger and arrest the suspect.
The prosecutor ordered a judicial investigation to clarify the circumstances and determine his links to criminal networks.
