Two Calcutta gunnies iced
2002-01-28
  • Two Pakistanis, who were involved in last week's attack on the American Center at Kolkata, were shot dead in an encounter with the police in Jharkhand. Those killed have been identified as Mohammed Idris alias Mohammed Zaheed of Punjab province of Pakistan and Salim, from the same province. The raid was conducted by Delhi and Hazaribagh police.

    The G-Men cordoned off the entire area. "Come out with your hands up, Mohammad!" Inspector A K Sinha called through a bullhorn. "We've got you surrounded!"

    "You'll never take me alive, copper!" Mohammad hollered.

    Around 6.30 am the two gunnies opened fire at the policemen and tried to sneak out of the house. Saleem was shot dead on the spot ("They got me, Mohammad!"), while Idris, who was critically wounded, died at the Sadar hospital ("Ma! It's gettin' dark!"). Idris, in his dying declaration, admitted to having shot dead four policemen at the American Center on January 22.
    Somewhere, in Hollywood Heaven, James Cagney is groaning. Wonder how much terrorism would drop in the world if they didn't let these guys go to moompitchers?
