Bear kills militants in Kashmir

A Himalayan black bear strolls in Dachigam National Park, 25kms from Srinagar, on Oct 16, 2009
The bear population has grown in Kashmir in recent times

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.

It is thought to be the first such incident since Muslim separatists took up arms against Indian rule in 1989.

Bodies found

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.

"Word spread in the village that Qaiser had been killed by the bear," another police officer said.

A joint party of the police and army personnel went into the forest and collected the bodies of the two militants.

Police say they also recovered two Kalashnikov assault rifles and some ammunition from the hideout.

Animal attacks

Wildlife experts say the conflict in Kashmir has actually resulted in an increase in the population of bears and leopards.

Following the outbreak of the insurgency people had to hand in their weapons to police - which put a halt to poaching.

As a result, there has been a greater incidence of man-animal conflict, say experts.

There have been many reports of bears and leopards killing or mauling humans in different parts of the Kashmir valley in recent years.

Three years ago, residents of Mandora village near the southern town of Tral, beat a black bear to death which had strayed into the village.

Whichever one controlled the bears actions...obviously, no?

Must be a Hindu god, they are more powerful in controlling animals than Allah and Jesus

The problem is these gods don't get along that much.

Clearly the cunning CIA and blackwater (now Xe services worldwide *patent pending*) and their front organisation Creative Associates Inc (CAI) has trained this bear to support the Mossad and RAW occupying forces in Kashmir to tarnish Islamic image for greater good of their no jewish person in wtc and indian support balochistan insurgency, PAF pilots awesome and they shot down IAF (both indian and israeli) in 34m 46, 51,52,53,64,67,66,84,1,12,92 and 2010.

Thats a list of all the words that are likely to appear and be repeated in this thread.

So thee bears are taking over Kashmir eh? More civilized that its current inhabitants by far. I think this bear has killed more militants than most European countries have so far.. UK excluded of course.

later bear hand over all his guns to Indian major...

PEACE

How the hell can a black bear attack four militants with assault rifles and killed two? They must have panicked and behaved irrationally if not cowardly. The Asian black bear is not a particularly large bear at around 200-250 lbs although it can attack ferocious.
