A counter-terrorism unit from a local council in the northern Syrian city of Manbij killed a man in possession of bomb-making materials on Tuesday while he was attempting to escape capture on a motorcycle.

According to a statement by the US-backed Manbij Military Council (MMC), one of its patrols first observed suspicious behavior by the man on the road leading to Awn Dadat village, north of the city.

MMC forces decided to pursue the individual who then tried to speed away on the motorcycle, resulting in the patrol shooting and killing him. Following his death, security forces found advanced claymore mines, electronics, batteries, and other equipment used in bomb-making.
