#3  I thought an Upazilla was smaller than a District - more like a neighborhood. Like BAGERHAT

#1  "Nurul Islam alias Nuru alias Rocky..."

ROFL. This stuff just gets better every day, lol.

Uh, Steve, can you make a small modification? I preferred the previous reportage style on this tidbit:
One pipe/shutter/country made gun and (X) bullets rounds of bullet were retrieved from the spot, reports our correspondent.

It adds a certain something, methinks. ;-)
