2 arms dealers held with AK-47 rifle
2007-07-31
Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) arrested two alleged arms dealers with an AK-47 rifle from the city's Chandanpura area under Kotwali Police Station at around 10:00pm yesterday.
Nothing like an early evening arrest to put you in the mood for a moonlight drive...heh, heh
The arrestees-- Jasim and Khurshed-- hailed from Patiya and Goalkhali upazilas of the district and are activists of Bangladesh Chhatra League, the student wing of Awami League, sources said.
A couple of fine upstanding lads, I'm sure
Acting on a tip-off, the elite force members raided the area and found the two standing with a bag near Chandanpura mosque.
"Howdy boys. Pretty evening, ain't it? Say now, what ya got in da bag, looks heavy."
The Rab members found the AK-47 rifle in the bag.
Ooops!
Quoting the arrestees,
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"
Rab official Captain Arif said they were waiting for Khokon, who was supposed to reach the spot to buy the arm.
'No, no, that's not ours, we was just gonna sell it, no, wait..."
The two were later taken to Rab-7 office at Patenga where the elite force members were interrogating them till filing of this report at 12.30am.
Ah, nothing like an early evening arrest and a workout with ol Number 7 to put you in the mood for a road trip.....

#7  Ah, I was wondering when the posts about the admirable RAB would resume. Truly, I have missed it.

#6  It takes two guys to deal one lousy AK-47?

Well, you are talkin' about Bangladesh, Glenmore. Not exactly like the streets of N'awlins for arms deals.

#5  #4 If they'd only waited a couple more hours before filing this report, they could have included the Crossfire™. Posted by: Gary and the Samoyeds 2007-07-31 09:11

I don't think this pair is bright enough to have a "gang", Gary. They'll probably just have a work accident instead.

#2  An AK is nothing more than a shutter gun with a different name, and a few minor uopgrades, really.
