Outlaw bombed to death
An alleged outlaw was killed as rivals threw bombs at him at Bamundi village in Gangni upazila, Meherpur last night.
The deceased was identified as Abdus Salam, 35 son of Aziziur Rahman of Bamundi.
Salam's father Aziziur Rahman, also an outlaw, was killed in a shoot-out with police on May 5, 2008.
Gangni police said a group numbering seven to eight called Salam out of his residence when he was taking dinner at about 8:45pm.
Salam suffered critical wounds as the criminals hurled two bombs at him immediately after he came out of his home. His right hand was blown off and splinters were lodged in his chest, Gangni police said.
He succumbed to his injuries on the way to Rajshahi Medical College Hospital from Meherpur General Hospital.
Salam was wanted in several cases, including two for bomb blasts.
Police said Salam was in jail for three months in one of the cases and came out of the prison on May 12 on bail.
