    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.

    The local imam has ruled that being killed by an unclean animal is not a martyr death, so no virgins for these guys!

    Good for the wild pigs. Islamic militants being killed by pigs is priceless.

    I think that even hogs deserve better food than that.

    A friend of mine just recently rescued a farm hog from a research lab (they couldn't use him so they were going to put him down) and let me tell you - I love him as much as I love a dog. He will follow you around like a dog, sits, loves tummy rubs and all kinds of stuff like that. Of course he's going to get bigger than his 120 lb. self and get to about 700 lbs. but man, he is great!! I'm trying to convince hubby that since he's allergic to dogs, we need Bruce. ;)

    But this is just one more reason to love pigs. They are on our side! LOL

    I know Yazidis eat pork, but if memory serves, in '04 I talked with some Turkmen in Tuz, a ways south of Kirkuk, who had hunted some boar and were getting ready to skin them up.
