Arms, phensidyl seized
The members of Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) recovered foreign-made arms, ammunition and phensidyl here early yesterday. Acting on a tip off, a team of Rab-12 led by its commander Major Mahfuzul Haque ordered a Dhaka-bound truck from the North to stop at the Bangabandhu Bridge east end at around 2:00am but the truck tried to flee, Rab sources said. As the law enforcers chased it, the driver and passengers left the truck in Ibrahimabad area, two kilometer away from the bridge and fled the scene. The Rab members later recovered a USA-made 7.65mm pistol, its seven bullets with a magazine from under the driver's seat and 1220 bottles of phensidyl from the truck.
