Tales from the Crossfire Gazette
2008-07-11


Okay, boys, let's show the locals how it's done...

A suspected hitman of 'Nabi bahini' of Adabar area
He'd been bitter ever since he was turned down for the Swedish Bahini Team...
was killed in "crossfire" between Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) members and his associates at Mansurabad in the city yesterday.
No, we have no idea where that is ...
The deceased was identified as Liton alias 'Killer' Liton, 25, the main assault man in the top-listed Nabi group of the area.
...alias "Vito", alias "Nunzio", alias "Vinnie Bats", alias "Dead Guy" Liton.
"He was wanted in a number of cases, including three murders," a RAB source said.
Ah, hat trick.
"You can maybe kill me, Nunzio, but some day the RAB will get youse!"
"Not if the witnesses is all dead! G'Bye, Spats! [BANG!]"
"Aaaaaiiiieeee! Rosebud!"

Acting on a tip-off, ...
... thanks to Mahmoud the Weasel ...
... a team of RAB-2 raided Mansurabad and chased some youths for their suspicious movement.
What suspicious movement was that, sarge?
He ducked when I was trying to shoot him in the head.

"Sensing danger, the youths reportedly fired on the RAB men, ...
"Hark! My spider-sense is tingling!" ...
... forcing the elite force to fire back," says an official account of the encounter.
We had...no choice.
Liton was caught in the crossfire while trying to flee and died instantly at about 2:45am.
Gimme a time of death, Achmed.
1 AM, sarge.
Fix your watch, Achmed.
Oh, sorry. 2:45AM, sarge.

After the late-night gunfight, the RAB personnel recovered a pistol and one bullet from the scene.
Okay, boys. That's a wrap. Miller Time on me...

#6  Ima thinkin; this was the first Crossfire reported by cub reporter Jimmy al-Olson.

Just like the NFL,we let the rookies get a few plays during training camp in the summer.

#5  "..yet somethings missing."
For starters:
No Amazing Disappearing Accomplices.
No medical confirmation of his demise; as in "He's dead, Jim."
And most importantly, no mention of what a nice boy he was, according to his ma-ma.
