Bear Kills Kashmir Militants

Pair didn't have time to fire weapons in cave

(Newser) – Two Islamic militants were killed by a bear in their—and, likely, its—cave hideout in Indian-controlled Kashmir today. “The attack seems to have been so violent and quick that both the militants had no chance to fire back at the wild animal,” a military official tells the Hindustan Times, noting that the Himalayan black bear is a top predator in the area.

Excellent news - Yogi and his ursine colleagues were recruited 2 years ago by CIA Special Ops and trained in the Rockies to sniff out malefactors. Before being HALO dropped into Kashmir they had accounted for 2 Park Rangers,3 picnickers and a couple of unsuspecting assbandits. Go the Bears! Reply
