Three Islamic State terrorists have reportedly been killed by a stampeding herd of wild boars during a failed attempt to set up an ambush in Northern Iraq.
According to Iraqi News, the trio of militants were killed on Sunday night after an altercation with the wild beasts in southern Kirkuk. Quoting local sources, The Times reports that the boars also injured a further five militants in the bitterly contested area.
Local Ubaid tribal chief and supervisor of anti-IS (Islamic State, formerly ISIS/ISIL) fighters, Sheikh Anwar al-Assi, told the paper the extremists were planning an ambush attack on local tribesmen who had formed anti-terrorist brigades. The tribesmen had fled to the mountains when IS captured the nearby town of Hawija three years ago.
Anwar al-Assi claims that at least eight terrorists had hidden in dense reeds near a local river known as the Zaghitoun, before they were set upon by the angry animals.
“It is likely their movement disturbed a herd of wild pigs, which inhabit the area as well as the nearby cornfields. The area is dense with reeds, which are good for hiding in,” he said.
Following the blunder, the terrorists allegedly “took revenge at the pigs,” according to Alsumaria News, however the exact method of retaliation was not clear.
The jihadists had reportedly executed 25 locals in the three days leading up to the boar attack.
“We know that a massacre took place in Hawija district through our sources. This will not be ISIS’ last massacre against citizens,” al-Assi said, adding that the true death toll was unknown as some people are still considered missing.
Hawija is a strategic location about 100 miles from Mosul and on the edge of the oil rich region of Kirkuk. The town is one of three strongholds in Iraq still under complete control of ISIS.
Local officials have repeatedly called on the Iraqi government to liberate IS-held regions in Kirkuk but the government have been focusing most of their efforts on driving the terrorist group out of the city of Mosul, their biggest stronghold in the country.

Will this become known as the ‘Boar’ War…………..sorry, couldn’t resist that one.
If ISIS is really coming across the Texas Mexico Border ,, they better watch out for the Wild Bores running around down there ..
How poetic , the animal the Muslims hate with a passion.. killing 3 Muzzies.. cant make this shit up people
they should take that as a message
Now we can understand their aversion to ham and pork products in general. They appear to be natural enemies. Bacon special ops.
There are an awful lot of wild boar in the USA. I am reminded of that scene in Air America where our hero drops a pig in a crate from his plane. Lots of fun. Why should we send over our troups when we can send over boar.
I can even envision a capsule delivery system that will fit in the 15″ guns on our largest battleships.
Let’s start the program in areas affected by famine and see what happens.
No way….
I finally figured out why they don’t eat pork and hate swine.
I just had a brilliant idea.
Why don’t we have darpa weaponize these pigs.
Put a chip in them to be remote controlled from creech air force base like a drone.
Chasing Muslims around like a video game.
Then link it up on xbox live.
I’m tellin ya…
It’ll be a knee slap happy time.
