#3 This has all the ear marks of an RAB operation! A 0215 raid, wild firing from the hideout, crossfires, alleged suspects detained, weapons seized! Now we're getting somewhere!

#6 I'm pretty sure we got a shutter gun but we don't want them to know we know they're using them now.

#7 Thavilet Gluger3137:

"RAB" is a police unit in Bangladesh, whose colorful after action reports read like a dime store crime novel, and is therefore a popular regular feature here on Rantburg.

Oh, and credit where it's due: the comments in those reports from Fred and the crew are a big part of the attraction, too.

search Rantburg for "Rapid Action Battalion" or "Tales from the Crossfire Gazette".

#8 Five suspected insurgents, including the target of the raid, were detained

Odd, you would figure he'd be the first to boom. Maybe a bad detonator

#10 The fact that three of the guys were wearing vests suggests they were senior folks, no? Do peons go around strapped in like that?

#11 It's the peons that boom Mr. Collar. The higher ups are much too valuable to the everloving-blue eyed-cause to self-detonate. It's a sacrifice that the leader are willing to undertake.
