 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? |
