Muslim Insurgents Mauled to Death by Bear After Hiding Out in Its Den
Looks like the U.S. military needs to expand its recruiting efforts...
From the story: Muslim Insurgents Mauled to Death by Bear After Hiding Out in Its Den
Two armed Muslim insurgents picked the wrong cave to hide out in after they were both killed by a bear. The men were carrying AK-47 assault rifles as they sought refuge in Indian administered Kashmir, but were taken by surprise by the giant carnivore. Two other militants were also injured by the Himalayan black bear, but managed to escape and make their way to a village near Srinagar.
Colonel Brar, Srinagar defence spokesman, said: 'Both bodies were mauled badly by some wild animal, and apparently by a bear, as the area is inhabited by Himalayan black bear. "The attack seems to have been so violent that both the militants got no chance to fire back at the wild animal." A joint team of police and soldiers recovered the two bodies, as well as Kalashnikov assault rifles and some ammunition.

well i will never run into a dark cave again.
Nice to know the we now have another Allie in this war and now you can say we have gone GREEN!
I guess bears believe in the Castle Doctrine as well.....
Perhaps the Insurgents have awakened the legendary monster!
At least the bears are supporting us more than the French.
Nice to hear. Too bad there aren't bears in the Fort Hood Texas regions.
See the Bears are on Our Side! Seems that while this may not have been "yer average bear" it was still quite able to out terrorize the terrorists. I have always supported the Right to Arm Bears and our military has used dogs for years, why not bears?
I can see it now (through Pushtun translator) "You got 10 seconds to come out and surrender or we're sickking the bear on you!" It would be like in the "golden compass" but the bears would wear digital camo and not get any lines! This story amused the poop out of me, One for the Bears! Yea!
When are they going to declare Jihad against the bear populations around the world?
How embarrassing. You're fully locked and loaded with two AK-47's and you don't even get a shot off.
"Two armed Muslim insurgents picked the wrong cave to hide out in after they were both killed by a bear."
Is it me, or did they pick the wrong cave to hide out in BEFORE they were both killed by a bear?
Seems like afterward it doesn't matter as much.
Still praise to the bears.
I am sure the one bear said to the other, "Muslim extremists, taste like chicken!!!
I say "Kudos" for the Bear!!!
It's too bad for the terrorists and I'm glad that two less terrorists we have to worry about....
Who says you can't train a bear?!
Can we nominate the bear for SOME kind of medal ?
I know C.M.H, or a "Silver Star" would be to much, but how about the "Bronze Star" or a "Black Star"(LOL).
I mean he did take on 4 ARMED guys with AK-47/74's ! GOT TWO OF THEM ! LOL/LMFAO !
GO YOGI ! GET BOO BOO TRAINED WELL !
Someone should give that bear a cookie--or maybe a pic-a-nic basket, eh Boo-boo. Nice one, Bella: "the right to arm bears!"
Ooo rah, bear!
Good bear.
The heck with putting all those "terrorist detainees" from Gitmo at the max security at Florence, CO. Let's just turn 'em loose in the Sangre de Christos and tell them it's gonna snow that night, and to hunt for a cave.
As for a medal for the bear, "Bronze Star" etc would that be Ursa Major???
two AK-47's vs. black bear...hhhmmmmm
Considering some of the caves I crawled through back when I used to go spelunking, I would think that a full auto AK would be worse than useless underground, FMJ bullets ricochet every which way. Perhaps something like them .50 Casull revolvers loaded with frangible ammo might do it, or a shotgun with a short barrel. At any rate they were likely ambushed and likely didn't even see the bear in the cave darkness until Mr. Bear had the range for his natural weapons. Caves are very dark and if you fire that AK the muzzle flash is going to blind you as the blast deafens you. Course that is gonna be the case with the Casull revolver too...Perhaps that rotonone tipped crossbow bolt...
Heck I'm glad they didn't have one of those! Go Bear!
Point of fact, I don't think you could find a better candidate for tunnel clearing than trained bears. Timothy Treadwell could have had a patriotic calling!
We need those bears on our side in Afghanistan!
My hats off to the bear may he or she live a long and happily content life. They need a medal with a v device.
yes start insisting them they'll never see it coming a platoon of bears trained to kill anything with a towel on there head inside the many caves of Afghanistan!
Mother Nature knows best!
The bear just wanted a terrorist skin rug.
Is there a branch for bears in the military? Apparently that worked well. :)
As we used to say in the Infantry, "Attaboy!"
Six words: Thou shalt not tempt the bear.
Where the Americans rooting for the bear?I sure as heck am!I mean we have two less terrorists and the bear has two nice terrorist wall mounts...
ok maybe i m the only 1 who remembers this show but it was called "thats my Bush" it was a shoe making fun of president bush in his 1st term and he had an episode where he got a guard bear. So in the words of that show. GO GAURD BEAR GO!
wow. never thought i'd be rooting for the bear in bear attacks on people but then again i didn't think the phillies would be in back to back world series either. i'm just picturing the bear picking its teeth with their bayonets and flossing with their turbans.
I can just hear them shouting "Allahu Ak---BEAR!!!!"
Good one Coop! Took the words out of my mouth.
LOL!!!! U know its time to quit when not only are most of the worlds nations are against you...but also mother nature..LOL!!
Sweet! Our Guys save some Ammo. Dang we should transport a bunch of Grizzlies over there!
No Virgins for these two. Good riddance.
"Hey Sarge, is that a turban crusted into that pile of bear scat?"
I don't blame them. I'd rather face the bear than the U.S. Armed Forces.
Serves em right...we'll get em one way or another
