Tales from the Crossfire Gazette (Saturday edition)
2005-09-17
Cuddle up in a comfy chair with a mimosa, it's 'Crossfire' time!
Two "criminals" were killed in a "crossfire" with police in Nischintapur under Chandina upazila in the district yesterday noon.
No, I don't know where that is either.
The victims are Mahbubur Rahman alias BDR Mahbub alias Lavlu, 35, son of Abdul Matin Mia of Sonapara village under Daudkandi upazila and Shukur Ali, 28, son of Abdul Malek of village Jamiapara under Chandina upazila. Police arrested Mahbub and Shukkur Ali for their alleged involvement in Wednesday's incident of killing two armed criminals by an angry mob at Nawabpur area under Chandina upazila.
"Youse two are gonna wish you'd gotten away with da rest o'da mob."
As Mahbub and Shukkur Ali informed that their two accomplices Baten and Bellal had been hiding at Nsichintapur, ...
"Ouch! Ouch! Dang that smarts! Ouch!"
... Chandina police along with them went there at around 1:30pm yesterday.
Hmmph, a little early. Chandna police are such amatuers.
Sensing police presence, some armed miscreants began to fire indiscriminately against which police retaliated.
"It's da coppers, boyz! Fill the air wit' lead!"
Trying to flee, Mahbub and Shukkur Ali were bullet-hit in crossfire and died on the spot,...
"Mahbub, let's flee ... [thwwippp] ooch! Rosebud!"
... while three police personnel sub-inspectors Jahangir Alam and Qumrul Islam and constable Masud Sheikh, were injured during the incident, police said.
"Lift with the legs, not with the back Qumrul, or you'll need a truss I tell ya!"
Police recovered one foreign revolver loaded with five bullets, one country made pipe-gun and two cartridges from the spot.
A genuine country-made pipe gun, not like one of those cheap city-made ones ...

#4  Hey, no fair! Mahbubur Rahman had 2 aliases, and Shukur Ali din't have none?

Guess it don't matter none now, though...

#2  Country made pipe gun...
Flexibility is everything in this part of the world. Consider the cigarette knife.
