Police say stray bullet hit Sheikh Rashid's car
2013-08-31
[Dawn] Member of the National Assembly, Awami Moslem League (AML) chief Sheikh Rashid Ahmad's car was hit by a falling stray bullet late on Thursday night, said the police rejecting the MNA's claim of being attacked.

The stray bullet, falling from the sky, was at terminal end of its trajectory at a low velocity and came at a vertical angle, police investigation revealed on Friday.
That kind of thing is clearly Allah's will, which is why the people, in a pious desire to aid him who they worship, send so many bullets randomly upward for his pleasure. Really, it's not merely about the gun sex.
The bullet partially pierced the top sheet of the car's trunk and got stuck there, said a blurb issued by the police.

The stray bullet, falling from the sky, was at terminal end of its trajectory at a low velocity and came at a vertical angle, police investigation revealed on Friday.
"Preliminary investigation by police has been conducted under the supervision of SSP, SP City and ASP City Islamabad."

Quoting the application submitted at Aabpara Police Station by Sheikh Rashid, police said that he was proceeding to his house located in Rawalpindi in his Toyota Corolla car after attending a TV programme.

Rashid stated in his application that he was fired upon but he remained safe when he reached near Zero Point on the highway at around 10 pm on August 29. The driver disembarked and checked the vehicle and found a bullet in the car's trunk.

On the complaint of Sheikh Rashid Ahmad, First Information Report (FIR) was registered at Aabpara Police Station on Thursday night.

The MNA had informed the media about the incident prior to reporting it to the police, said the blurb. Police were investigating the incident from all angles, it added.

#5  It's been a while since we had regular poetry in the Burg. I think it's grand. :-) Koins or haiku, anyone?

#1  I fired a bullet into the sky,
It came back down, Allah knows why;
For marksmanship is just a game,
And it's impious to take aim.

Sheikh Rashid Ahmad is a liar,
To say he was receiving fire;
For who has sight so strong and straight,
That it can decipher the wish of Fate?

I hear it hit Sheikh Rashid's trunk;
I guess the aim of Allah stunk.
Next shot, should Allah intercede,
Will find its way to the heart of Rashid.
