 Two alleged underground operatives were killed in an encounter with Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) at Ranigram village under Ataikula Police Station yesterday.
| No, we don't know where that is. |
The dead were identified as Nazrul Islam, 38, son of Azahar Ali of Sreepur village and Ansar Ali, 36, son of Abed Ali of Ranigram village of the upazila. Both belonged to the outlawed Sarbahara Party.
| That's an old communist independence party, so you know this isn't going to go well for Nazrul and Ansar. |
Acting on a tip-off, ...
| ... that from Mahmoud the Weasel ... |
... a team of Rab-12, Pabna, raided Mathura Battala at Ranigram at about 3:00pm where some members of the underground outfit were holding a meeting.
"I call this meeting of the Sarbahara Party to order!"
"I call the RAB coming 'round the corner!" |
Sensing the presence of the Rab men, the outlaws opened fire, forcing the law enforcers to retaliate.
| "Eat hot lead you coppers!" |
Rab sources said Nazrul and Ansar received bullets during the "shootout" and died on the spot, ...
| ... each receiving one behind each ear ... |
... while their accomplices managed to flee.
| Almost as if they were never there. |
Police said the two outlaws were wanted in 12 systems cases including seven for murder.
| So their mothers are indifferent to their deaths. |
Rab recovered two shutter guns and two bullets from the scene.
| Two shutter guns! They must have sold some big-shot's Hummer to afford the second one! |
