Hasina accuses govt of faking attempt to nab militants
Opposition Leader Sheikh Hasina has said while the Islamist militants don't get killed in crossfire, the snatchers are not being spared from such killing. Hasina, also the president of the Awami League (AL), accused the ministers and BNP lawmakers of patronising the militants and said the government is staging drama in the name of apprehending them.
| Methinks the lady has a point. I think we've noticed here that it's the Purbo Banglar Commies and the other upazila hard boyz who regularly get bumped off in crossfires. I can't recall having seen an Islamist whose accomplices opened fire on RAB at 3 a.m., unfortunately fatally perforating him as he tried to beat feet. |
Funny you should mention that, Fred: Two armed cadres of outlawed Purbo Banglar Communist Party (PBCP) Janajuddha faction were killed during an encounter between Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) and their associates yesterday in Khulna. They dead are Mofazzel Hossain alias Mofa, 32, and Sheikh Golam Mostafa alias Mosto, 30.
The encounter between the Rab members and the PBCP outlaws took place at 9:30pm during an arms recovery operation at Jabusha village under Rupsha upazila of the district. The Rab seized one revolver, two pipe guns and 16 bullets from the place of encounter. According to Rab, Mofazzel was arrested at Uttara in the capital while Mostafa was arrested in Rayermahal area of Khulna city on Monday. Both were wanted in a dozen of murder and several other criminal cases filed with different police stations in Khulna and Bagerhat. They were also involved in extortion, rape and kidnapping, Rab said. |
