Looks like that extra range time is paying off...
The dear departed were identified as Azizul Islam, 38, second-in-command of the gang 'Enamul Bahini' of Chuadanga's Alamdanga upazila, and Motaleb, 38, ringleader of a pirate group 'Motaleb Bahini' in Sundarbans area.
Couple of goofs. Why, neither one of them has an alias...
Early hours yesterday, Azizul got killed in a shootout between his cohorts and police at Alamdanga upazila's Khaskarra village.
Where?
| Darn it, we need to get a more detailed map. 1:2 might do to find the place... |
Huh? I could have sworn he was from Khaskarra village just one sentence ago...
| Wherever he is is the center of the universe. Names are meaningless. |
Acting on a tip-off, a team of Alamdanga police raided an abandoned house at Khaskarra village where Azizul and his men were holding a 'secret meeting' at about 4:15am, said police.
I've had enough of these O Dark Thirty meetings! I gotta work in the morning dammit!
What's that RAB tip line number...
At least they were meeting in an abandoned house and not a banana grove...
Sensing their presence,
My spider sense! It's tingling again! To arms! Aux barricades!
the gang threw two bombs targeting the law enforcers who retaliated triggering a shootout, police added.
Azizul received gunshots during the fight while his cohorts managed to flee the scene.
... as though they had never been...
said Officer-in-Charge Ahsan Habib of Alamdanga Police Station.
Local people identified Azizul's body later, the OC said.
"Yeah, that's Azizul. He's looked better."
Police recovered one shutter gun and three bullets from the spot, reports our Kushtia correspondent.
| What happened to the bomb fragments? |

Well, shiver me timbers, mateys! Me pirate sense sez it's the RAB! Yaaarrrrrr!!
Rab men captured bullet-maimed Motaleb while his associates went into hiding.

"He's dead, Jim."The Rab men recovered two shutter guns and four bullets from the scene.
Looks like all the shutter guns are back from the shop...
