COX'S BAZAR, Dec 05 (UNB): A suspected pirate was killed in a reported gunfight with member of Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) at Magnama in Pekua Upazila early Wednesday.

The deceased was identified as Tarek, 30, son of Abdus Shukkur of Uttar Dhurong in Kutubdia.

Tipped off, a team of RAB-7 conducted a drive in the area where two gangs of pirates thronged for sharing ransom money, said RAB-7 camp company commander Major Mehedi Hasan.

Sensing presence of the elite force, the criminals opened fire to RAB members forcing them to fire back in self-defence.
