Bear kills militants
BBC ^ | 12:28 GMT, Tuesday, 3 November 2009 | Altaf Hussain

A bear killed two militants after discovering them in its den in Indian-administered Kashmir, police say.

Two other militants escaped, one of them badly wounded, after the attack in Kulgam district, south of Srinagar.

The militants had assault rifles but were taken by surprise - police found the remains of pudding they had made to eat when the bear attacked.

The militants had made their hideout in a cave which was actually the bear's den, said police officer Farooq Ahmed.

The dead have been identified as Mohammad Amin alias Qaiser, and Bashir Ahmed alias Saifullah. News of the attack emerged when their injured comrade went to a nearby village for treatment.

I had to click just to see which militants were killed by bears. I was thinking militant environmentalists, feminists, anti-capitalists, anarchists, etc. So many militants, so much bear food.

From my favorite Far Side cartoon:

“Gee Bob, think there’s any bears in this cave?”

“I don’t know Dave; let’s check it out!”

Guess these militants will learn first-hand the answer to that age old question about bears.

“Heh, heh, Boo-Boo, let’s go into this cave and get us some pudding,” says Yogi. “But Yogi, we need to eat our dinner first,” replies Boo-Boo. “No problem!”, says Yogi.... and so Yogi and Boo-Boo have a balanced meal.

Maybe the terrorists in the mountains will get nailed by a snow leopard. Or a viper or cobra. There's all kinds of stuff in Pakistan.
