Tales from the Crossfire Gazette
2010-05-01
With bonus news and information!
Another leader of a outlawed party named Gono Mukti Fouj
They cross-fired a Gono? Oh there'll be trouble for that.
It's an outlawed party, so it's illegal just to belong. Calling Sheriff Arpaio, there's work to be done!
was killed in a 'shootout' between his cohorts and police in Shailokupa upazila of Jhenidah district on Friday.
We really have no idea where that is.
Old Patriot got some new maps, so let us wait patiently while he unfolds them.
Accoring to police, the deceased was identified as Gias Uddin of Baroihuda village.
Gias wasn't worthy enough even to have an alias ...
Gias was reportedly holding a clandestine meeting in a field of Bagura village
Was the VFW hall booked?
when police reached the spot.
"Which spot?"
"That spot!"
The Gias spot?
After a gunfight the bullet-hit body of Gias Uddin
I'm guessing where the bullet holes are: one behind each ear?
was found on the spot
the very same spot the police reached
and was taken to Shailokupa upazila health complex.
Not a level one trauma center, but that didn't matter for our hero because ...
However, doctors declared him dead.
"He's dead, Jim!"
With Gias, the total number of extra judicial killings rose to 118 in nine months from August 2009 to April 30 of 2010. With this 26 extra judicial killings took place in first four months of the current year of 2010.
Hey! Youse guys are slipping!
Why are we measuring from last August? Did something special happen then?
The last incident of crossfire killing took place in Chittagong on April 16,2010. On that occasion an alleged notorious terrorist was killed in 'shootout' between his cohorts and Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) members at Anannya residential area under Bayezid Bostami thana in Chittagong early on 16 April
Which as you might expect caught our attention.
taking the total of such extra judicial killings to 117 in eight and half months from August 1, 2009 to April 16, 2010. With that 25 extra judicial killings took place in the year of 2010.
Making B'desh 25 thugs safer ...
