An underground operative was killed during a "shootout" between his accomplices and Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) in Durgapur upazila of the district last night.They don't even bother to hide the facts anymore in the "shootouts".
Police said the dead, Babu, 30, son of UP Chairman Afsar Ali, was an active member of an outlawed party.
Islamicist? No-o-o-o. Communist? Ye-e-e-s.
Acting on a tip-off, ...
... that coming from our man, Mahmoud the Weasel ...
... a team of Rab personnel raided the old cattle market area near Taherpur-Durgapur road at about 7:15pm to arrest Babu and his cohorts.
We have no idea where that is.
Sensing the presence of the Rab men, Babu and his accomplices opened fire on the law enforcers, prompting them to retaliate.
Spider-sense tingling, random, aimless fire, and retaliation all in one sentence.
Rab sources said, Babu received bullets during the encounter ...
... received one behind each ear, in fact ...
...and died on the spot.
| "Which spot?" "That spot!" |
And his mother didn't love him either.
