Terrorist killed in shootout with cops in city
2013-07-21
Dhaka -- An alleged terrorist was killed in a 'shootout' with police in Beribadh (Embankment) area under Rupnagar police station in the city on Friday night.

The deceased was identified as Mahdi, 38.
No alias. Obviously a small fish...
Sub--inspector of the police station Aminul Islam said terrorist Mahdi
So a small fish but nevertheless a terrorist...
Ponder the piranha. A very small fish, but oh God, the teeth are terrifying. Still, a mere one-namer isn't likely to have fins, scales, and terrifying teeth.
received bullet in the forehead
Ruined his day, it did...
during a 'shootout' with police in the Beribadh area at night.
But no other details. Sloppy, sloppy, boys: where's the banana grove? The spider-sense of the police closing in? The pointless, aimless shootout? The dumping of Mahdi's body on the spot?
Aminul took Mahdi to Dhaka Medical College Hospital
Not a level I trauma center but Mahdi was beyond that...
where doctor declared him dead at about 11:35.
"He's dead, Jim!"
However, doctor found a handcuff attached to the deceased's left hand.
"Dr. Quincy, look at this. It's a hand-cuff!"
"Ah Sam, but where is its partner?"
"We don't ask, right Dr. Quincy?"
"Right Sam, don't ask."
The sub-inspector declined to give any detail of the identity of Mahdi and the gunfight.
Obviously the sub-inspector is inexperienced and hasn't read the RAB handbook for handling the press.

Don't forget the escape of Mahdi's cohorts -- as if they has never been.
