Wild boars overrun Islamic State position, kill 3 militants

Three Islamic State militants setting up an ambush in a bitterly contested area of northern Iraq were killed by a herd of stampeding boars, local leaders say.
Sheikh Anwar al-Assi, a chief of the local Ubaid tribe and supervisor of anti-ISIS forces, told The Times of London the militants were hiding on the edge of a field about 50 miles southwest of Kirkuk when the boars overwhelmed them Sunday. Five other militants were injured, al-Assi said. He said the group was poised to attack a band of local tribesmen who had fled to nearby mountains since militants seized the town of Hawija three years ago.
“It is likely their movement disturbed a herd of wild pigs, which inhabit the area as well as the nearby cornfields,” he said.

Al-Assi said the militants had summarily executed 25 people attempting to flee the militant's would-be caliphate in the three days before the boars attacked. Hawija, about 100 miles south of Mosul, sees dozens of residents flee to Kurdish Kirkuk daily, and the Iraqi military has planned to launch an offensive in the region after a laborious effort to liberate Mosul is completed.
“We know that a massacre took place in Hawija district through our sources," al-Assi told the Times. "This will not be ISIS’s last massacre against citizens."
Well, it looks like God is definitely not on their side!

Thinking this over , wild hogs are the perfect weapon to use against Islamists . They are not allowed to eat pork . Even more they can't even make physical contact !
Islamists . They are not allowed to eat pork .
But OTOH. the porkers are are allowed to eat Islamists!

Either that-- or maybe they just killed them for sport?
I wonder. Are there any Muslim American football players?

Colbert: How Can Muslims Play In The NFL If They Can't Touch Pig Skin? (VIDEO)Maybe the Boars' feelings had been hurt because they're not considered Halal. I wonder if the fighters who were only injured will be able to go to heaven now that they've been touched by.........PIGS!!!!
Give them uniforms and berets and make them part of the Special Forces! Instead of risking our Special Ops troops go into a questionable building to look for ISIS fighters, just send in a squad of 8 or 10 wild Boars and you'll be certain in a few minutes! Just shoot them (OK...so maybe capture them...damn...scheesh) as they run screaming from the door! We could recruit hundreds of them out of Arkansas and the ones killed in the line of duty...become meals for a week or more! Pork chops for everyone!!

You might be able to train them-- I've heard that pigs are actuially pretty intelligent. (And some people have them as pets-- but not wild Boars. Supposedly Vietnamese Pot-Bellied Pigs make excellent pets:
Is a Pig Right for You?
So, you are thinking about getting a potbellied pig and want to know
if you are doing the right thing.
This flyer should answer many
of your questions. In addition to
reading up on pet pigs, we recommend
that you take the time to actually
visit Ross Mill Farm whenever possible
before making your decision.
Piglets are cute little butterballs for only a short time,
so make sure you meet a full-grown, adult piggy before adopting.

One what...an Islamist?

I just googled her. She was born in Lebanon. Her Mother is from a Sunni MUslim family. Interestingly, her father's family is Druze.
"Pig berries" LOL
To see a pet pig owned by a doctor, watch the movie "Doc Hollywood" with Michael J. Fox.
Pigs really don't want to die - you can also watch the movie "Charlotte's Web" to see Zuckerman's Wonderful Pig, who amazes many people. Keep in mind also that in Amimal Farm, the pigs began to look more and more like people and the people bagan to look more and more like pigs. When I was a little kid I used to read the "Freddy the Pig" novels and so understood that pigs were actually very smart, capable of communicating with other animals.
and so understood that pigs were actually very smart, capable of communicating with other animals.
Well in that case-- they're smarter than a lot of American politicians!

Unfortunately that could be the "kiss of death" in their ever being elected.

"Some animals are more equal then other animals." That books should be required reading in ever high school in America and there should be a semester type test on it to make sure they actually read it. The same with 1984.
Absolutely agreed. I would add "Brave New World" to that list.
