CHAPAINAWABGANJ, April 8 (BSS): Two alleged arms traders were killed in an encounter with Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) at Chapainawabganj Saturday.
No, I won't try to pronounce that
RAB-5 sources said acting on a secret information, members of the force raided a mango orchard at Lalapara in Moharajpur union under Sadar Upazila.
Operation Mango Tango
Sensing the presence of the RAB personnel,
"Sniff, I smell coppers! Open fire boys!"
the group of arms traders opened fire at them. At this, RAB members retaliated resulting in a brief gunfight.
"BANG! BANG! Ok, that's it. Who brought the doughnuts?"
The arms traders -- Sajjad and Towfiq of Rashiknagar under Nayalabhanga union of Shibganj Upazila received bullets behind the ear during the encounter and died on the spot.
"They're both dead, Jim!"
The others managed to flee the scene leaving huge arms.
How huge?
The RAB members, later, recovered two revolvers, two one shooter gun, one shutter gun and a number of bullets from the spot, the sources said.
That's it? I've got more than that under my bed

#4  In the opening sentence, it's "alleged arms traders," but apparently they were tried & convicted by the second mention because from that point on they're just "arms traders".

They should be easy to find: look for men with huge bloodied stumps.

Assuming, of course, that they ever existed.
