[Bangla Daily Star]  Three criminals, including two outlaws, were killed in separate 'shootouts' with the law enforcers in Kushtia and Chittagong early Thursday.
[BANG! BANG! BANGETY BANG!]
Rosebud!
Rosebud!
Rosebud!
The deceased were identified as Mannan Mollah, 42, a regional leader of outlawed Gono Mukti Fouz (GMF)

and its member Mohammad Ali, 32, and Akhtaruzzaman Khushbu, 38, hailed from Sandwip of Chittagong.
In Kushtia, two members of outlawed Gono Mukti Fouz were killed in a 'gunfight' between their cohorts and law enforcers at Dorbeshpur village in Sadar upazila.
Acting on a tip-off,
"Hello? Lissen, dis is Mahmoud the Weasel! I got a hot tip for yez!"
a joint team of Rapid Action Battalion-12 and Kushtia Sadar police
"Sergeant Rafiq! Round up the men! The game's afoot! Oh, and bring the Kushtia Sadar Police, too."
raided a field at Dorbeshpur where Mannan and his men were holding 'a secret meeting' at about 2:15am.
"Now, lissen, men! We gotta keep this here meeting secret...!"
"Hark! What's that? My spidey sense...!"
Sensing their presence, the outlaws hurled two bombs
"Bring forth the bomb, Comrade Ahmed!"
targeting the law enforcers, prompting them to retaliate.
"Sergeant Rafiq! Have the men open [BANG! BANG! BANGETY BANG!] fire!"
"We found two bodies lying on the ground after the gunfight," Officer-in-charge Asaduzzaman of Kushtia Sadar Police Station said.
"Sergeant Rafiq! Where are those bodies!?"
"Right where we left them, sir!"
"Well get them over to Dr. Quincy! They're beginning to smell!"
The other outlaws however managed to flee the scene, the OC said.
... almost like they were never there...
Two police constables were also injured during the 'gunfight', reports our Kushtia correspondent.
"Oh, that's a bad one! You're gonna have to use a needle to dig that out!"
Police recovered two country-made rifles, one foreign made revolver, eight bombs and 19 bullets from the spot.
"Which spot?"
"That one, over there!"
According to police, Mannan was accused on twelve systems in six cases, including five for murders, while Mohammad Ali in five cases, including four for murders. The cases were filed with the Kushtia Sadar and Islamic University police stations, the sources said.
With this, a total of 10 incidents of 'shootout' were taken place in Kushtia in last eight and a half months since January 1 this year that killed 11 alleged criminals. The figure was 42 in 2009.
Gonna have to hurry to fill their bag limit before the season ends.
Only one case was filed against the 'shootout' in the district this year.
One Anju Begum, wife Abdul Alim of Kalabaria village in Kushtia Mirpur upazila, filed the case with the Chief Judicial Magistrate's court on July 20 after her husband was killed in a 'gunfight' with police.
There's those scare quotes again. Why, it's almost like they don't believe the 'offical' reports.
Our staff correspondent in Chittagong reports, Khushbu was killed in a 'shootout' with the members of Rab-7 in Mirersharai upazila of Chittagong.
Senior Assistant Superintendent of Police Mostafizur Rahman said a gang, who were holding a clandestine meeting in Domkhali cross-dam area, opened fire at the elite force members when they raided the area around 1:30am.
"Yikes, it's the RaB! Open random, reckless fire!"
At one stage, Rab was compelled to fire that triggered a gunfight.
I guess they figure it takes two to gunfight.
Khushbu, accused in three murder and 16 other criminal cases, was caught in the line of fire and died on the spot, the ASP said.
The spot being one inch behind his left ear
However, rest of the gang managed to escape.
Without a trace of evidence of their being there. Funny how that works
