The right to bear arms...

The story was so absurd I had to post it:

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.

At the risk of being callous, we need ursine combatants in CM!

When police found the remains of pudding they did say: "Gents, it bears all the signs of a professional job." :D

By the way, did you know that in WW2 there was a Syrian brown bear enlisted in the Polish Army? He was adopted as a cub and when he grew up he was trained to carry heavy mortar rounds. When Polish forces were deployed to Europe the only way to take the bear with them was to "enlist" him. So he was given a name, rank and number and took part in the Italian campaign. He saw action at the Battle of Monte Cassino. He was called Wojtek (Vojtek in other sources).
