Suspected militant hideout cordoned off in Narsingdi
[Dhaka Tribune] Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) has cordoned off a suspected holy warrior hideout in Narsingdi’s Gabtoli area.
Whoa! How is it that this was not concluded in a rapid crossfire in the small hours of the night, while all honest citizens are snugly asleep in their little beds?
However,
nothing needs reforming like other people's bad habits...
those inside the building claimed that they were not bully boyz when contacted by the Dhaka Tribune.
Even more off script. This will not do.
"We have surrounded an under-construction building
...a suitably proletarian location...
from Saturday afternoon
Eh? Since when is the RAB about during the day, except to receive an award for ridding the world of a substantial number of serious miscreants wanted on twelve systems?
on suspicion that a few bully boyz are holed up in the ground floor of the two-storey building," RAB 11 Commanding Officer Lt Col Kamrul Hasan said.
That would be information received, as they say, from Mahmoud the Weasel's fourth cousin twice removed, who is handling the family business in this locality.
Later, RAB-11 Assistant Director Senior Assistant Superintendent of Police Alek Uddin told the Dhaka Tribune: "Five to six bully boyz may be inside the residence. We have asked them to surrender, but there has been no response from inside the building."
No, no -- first the miscreants' Spidey Sense is triggered, causing them to exit their proletarian meeting place (strawberry field, brick manufactury, banana plantation, etc) shooting wildly, then the RAB respond with two precisely placed shots --one behind each ear -- at the miscreant in question, who dies promptly on The Spot. This time it has gone very, very wrong.
"We could not confirm the existence of any woman or child in the residence," he also said; adding that RAB and local police have cordoned off the residence and surrounded areas since 4pm.
"Yo, miscreants! Ya got any wimmen and kiddos in there?"
"Yes, Mr. jawanwallah: four wimmen and 17 kiddos, half each boys and girls -- Aishaullah is a hermaphrodite."
"Got it, thanks. *aside* They could be lying, Sarge -- I checked the form for not sure."
The decision to start an operation inside the den will be taken soon, after RAB high-ups from Dhaka reach the spot.
The Spot is a necessary part of the script...
Azar Bin Mahfuz, who claims to be the brother-in-law of one of those in the building,
...his wife married up...
spoke to news hounds after rushing to the scene upon hearing news of the raid.
The Mahamoud the Weasel clan inform in both directions, it appears; keeping their extensive offspring in braces and piano lessons is an expensive undertaking...
He alleged that those inside were madrasa students,
...Eh? What are they doing meeting in so proletarian a spot as a half-built building?
not holy warriors, and provided the contact number of his brother-in-law Masudur Rahman.

When contacted, Masudur told the Dhaka Tribune that he was in the building with four others. They are: Salahuddin, Moshiur Rahman, Mojibur Rahman and Abu Zafar.
You can't fool me. That last one is a Disney cartoon monkey.
Masudur claimed that none of them were bully boyz and that four of them had gone to the building to receive private tuition from Abu Zafar.
They have a madrassah, so why do they need a dangerous and dirty building site?
He added that the doors and windows of the building were unlocked,
...and, in fact, nonexistent...
but law enforcement officials were not allowing them to leave. He also denied having been asked to surrender by the officials.

The house is owned by Mainuddin, a Bangladeshi expatriate in Libya. His family had lived there before the death of his wife a year ago.

The building has been empty since then.

"One Salauddin rented the ground floor flat by introducing himself as a madrasa student one month ago. Five more people were seen residing with him in the house," said Nurul Islam, owner of a neighbouring shop.
Stranger and stranger, and without any conclusion whatsoever. Send the script back for a rewrite.
