3 This has all the ear marks of an RAB operation! A 0215 raid, wild firing from the hideout, crossfires, alleged suspects detained, weapons seized! Now we're getting somewhere!

6 I'm pretty sure we got a shutter gun but we don't want them to know we know they're using them now.

7 Thavilet Gluger3137:

"RAB" is a police unit in Bangladesh, whose colorful after action reports read like a dime store crime novel, and is therefore a popular regular feature here on Rantburg.

Oh, and credit where it's due: the comments in those reports from Fred and the crew are a big part of the attraction, too.

search Rantburg for "Rapid Action Battalion" or "Tales from the Crossfire Gazette".

8 Five suspected insurgents, including the target of the raid, were detained

Odd, you would figure he'd be the first to boom. Maybe a bad detonator

10 The fact that three of the guys were wearing vests suggests they were senior folks, no? Do peons go around strapped in like that?

11 It's the peons that boom Mr. Collar. The higher ups are much too valuable to the everloving-blue eyed-cause to self-detonate. It's a sacrifice that the leader are willing to undertake.
