 [Bangla Daily Star] A cadre of Purba Banglar Communist Party (ML-Janajuddah) was killed in a 'shootout' between his cohorts and police at Baniakanda village under sadar upazila here early yesterday.
| Will the last Purba Banglar commie please turn out the light at the secret lair? |
The deceased was identified as Hasan alias Boma Hasan alias Batam, 35, son of Sayed Ali of Defolbaria village in sadar upazila.
| To note, please: Mr. Hasan was killed in a shootout, not a crossfire. The difference is subtle, but matters to the courts. |
| After all, the B'desh High Court said, "no more cross-fires". And this one isn't a cross-fire. Human rights whiners take note. |
Two police constables--Mohsin and Jafar--were also injured during the gunfight.
| A hernia and a bruised ego ... |
Officer-in-charge (OC) Motiar Rahman of Jhenidah Sadar Police Station said, police raided Baniakanda village where the outlaws were holding a secret meeting around 2:00am.
| That's the right time, when all solid burghers are snug in their beds. It would be comforting to know the meeting place was suitably proletarian, but unlike the Rab, the police are not selected for writing ability. |
Sensing the presence of the law enforcers, the criminals opened fire prompting them to fire back that triggered a 20-minute-long gunfight.
| There are new Spidey Sense training exercises in the updated Henchmen's Handbook, the one with the blue and white cover. Clearly this cell of Purbo Banglar acquired copies, nothing cheap about them! |
Hasan was caught in the line of fire and died on the spot while his cohorts managed to flee, the OC said.
| And a hearty "Well done!" to all involved for playing their roles so faithfully. |
Police recovered a shutter gun, four bombs and two rounds of bullet from his possession.
| Bombs?!? These are badmen of the first water, not your run of the mill, shutter gun and rounds of bullet types. |
The injured policemen are undergoing treatment at Jhenidah Sadar Hospital.
| A good thing, too. Have you any idea how long it takes to heal a bruised ego? |
| Al Gore's is still severely strained, 9 years after he lost to Bush |
| That ego wasn't bruised, it was shattered ... |
Hasan, an expert in bomb making, was an accused in twelve systems seven cases including firearms, the OC added.
| I should think so! A good thing there was a shootout, to fix the problem without cluttering up the court system. |
