Erwin Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 One group played a little trick on another when they sent them out to ambush a band of local tribesmen. According to US News yesterday, a (presumably snickering) Sheikh Anwar al-Assi a chief of the local Ubaid tribe told The Times of London that the militants were hiding in a field about 50 miles SW of Kirkuk when a herd of wild boars overwhelmed them, trampling 3 to death and wounding five others. So, a good time was had by all. Morale was boosted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well of course... the story is from Wednesday's "US News" fer crissakes. Not exactly in the forefront for in depth accurate reporting... not like RT for example. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Kettler Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Erwin, Would call that more of a deadly prank than a joke. For the deserving victims, though, it was doubly bad, what with the intimate contact with pork. Goodbye 72 virgins and hello really hot climes!
