A leader of an outlawed party was killed in an encounter with Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) at Char Laxmipur village near the district town early yesterday.
This one is short and sweet. | The dead was identified as Faruq Hossain Dablu, 42, regional commander of Purbo Banglar Communist Party (PBCP).
A commie, not an Islamicist. The RAB has standards. | Acting on a tip-off, ...
"What's that you say? Faruq Dablu, noted communist, needs to be picked up and taken to an unnamed upazaila at 4 am today? Got it, and thanks for the tip, Boss." | ... members of the elite force went to a farm at the village where Dablu and his accomplices were holding a secret meeting at about 4:00am.
Big secret, no one knew but the commies and the RAB. | Sensing the presence of the Rab men, ...
"Hark! My spider-sense is tingling! It must be the RAB!" | ... the outlaws opened fire, ...
... prompting the law enforcers to retaliate.
Rab sources said Dablu received bullets during the "shootout" ...
... one behind each ear ... | ... and died instantly, ...
... just as he was rolled out the back of the truck ... | ... while his cohorts managed to flee.
As if they were never there. | Dablu was wanted on twelve systems in a number of criminal cases, the sources added. A two-barrel gun and two bullets were recovered from the scene.
Is that a two-barrel shutter gun? |
