| [Bangla Daily Star] A mugger was beaten to death by locals in the city's Gabtoli area yesterday morning and an alleged criminal was bullet-hit during a gunfight between his cohorts and Rapid Action Battalion in Lalbagh in the early hours yesterday. The mugger was identified as Anwar Hossain, 28, while the criminal as Faisal Parvez, 30, of Nazimuddin Road under Bangshal Police Station. He lives under Bangshal Police Station? Or soon will? Witnesses said a gang of three to four muggers intercepted Mohammad Shahjahan, a supervisor of Suryamukhi Paribahan, 35, near Karalipara Mosque around 5:30am when he was returning home after his work. The muggers stabbed him in the hand and took away Tk 5,000. When he cried out for help, locals rushed in, caught Anwar and beat him up while the others managed to flee. Anwar was taken to Dhaka Medical College Hospital where he succumbed to his injuries at about 8:30am. Meanwhile in Shahidnagar embankment area of Lalbagh, criminal Faisal sustained bullet injuries in a gunfight. A gang of three criminals opened fire on Rab personnel when a team of Rab-10 challenged them, Rab members said. Faisal was hit by bullets as the Rab personnel fired back. Faisal could not flee with bullet wounds in his leg while two others fled the scene. Save yourselves! You got it, Faisal. Feets don't fail me now! The Rab team recovered a revolver with three bullets, two cell phones and 100 yaba tablets from his possession. Yeah, sarge. Another guy high on the yaba. By the way sarge...what's yaba? Faisal was admitted to Mitford Hospital. Woah, he's alive? Did you guys run outta bullets or sumthin? |

| #6 Ya ba (also Yaba, Yaa baa, Ya baa or Yah bah; Thai: ÂÒºéÒ, literally "madness drug") are tablets containing a mixture of methamphetamine and caffeine. Alternative names They are sometimes called Bhul Bhuliya in India and Shabu in the Philippines, Indonesia and Japan. Streetnames in North Thailand include 'Chocaleee' as the taste left in the mouth is somewhat sweet. The drug is also known as "Nazi speed" as it was originally created by German scientists during World War II to increase the endurance of their soldiers. |

| #5 Caffene and methamphetamine? Is that anything like an APC we used to use as a headache cure? (Aspirin Phenabarbitol Caffene) |

| #3 Probably the worst mugging I ever heard of was the attempted robbery of two world class, street fighting, very senior Kenpo black belts. It ended up with the mugger fleeing for his life, buck naked, screaming, much of his backside an asphalt road rash, and large, irregular clumps of hair missing from his scalp. |
