Tales from the Crossfire Gazette©
 Four more suspected criminals were killed crossfire between the criminals and the law enforcers in Kushtia early Sunday, raising the crossfire death counts to 708 since June 2004.
| Everyone of them a dead commie. |
With the death of the four on Sunday, the death count in such incidents rose to five since the caretaker government assumed office on October 29.
| Caretaker gummint won't mess with the RAB, it's one of the only parts of B'desh that works ... |
The deceased were identified as Babul and his associate Abbas of the outlawed Purba Banglar Communist Party.
| How strange, they weren't Islamicists. |
The police said they intercepted a gang of extremists on Mohishadanga road under the Islami University police station at about 4:00am while they were going to nearby Ranjitpur.
| That's what you get for traveling under a police station at 4 am in B'desh ... |
Sensing danger, the extremists opened fired on the police who retaliated, triggering a half-an-hour gunfight.
| Spider senses tingling on both sides, and an irresolute gunfight ensues ... |
Babul and Abbas died on the spot, the police said.
"Which spot?"
"That spot! Sez 'rosebud' right there!" |
The police recovered a light machinegun from the spot.
| Ohhh, nicely armed! That goes in the RAB gun crib for another outing ... |
Bonus Crossfire!
In another incident, a police team encircled the house of one Gafur Ali at village Goiripara under Daulatpur upazila ...
| No, we have no idea where that is ... |
... upon information about gathering of a gang of robbers there at about 3:00am.
| So these guys were the first act, it seems ... |
The robbers opened fire on the law enforcers, forcing them retaliate.
Shafirul and Mijan received bullet wounds while trying to flee from the scene ...
| "Ooch! Ouch! That hurts!" |
... and died on the spot, the police claimed.
The police also arrested three other robbers Abdul, Zaker and Kamal, and seized a pistol with eight bullets from the spot.
| Abdul, Zaker and Kamal soon to star in a Crossfire near, ... well, maybe Goiripara. |
