Sheikh Anwar al-Assi,
the Ubaid tribe’s chieftain told The
Times of London a herd of wild boars overran an ISIS position about 50
miles southwest of Kirkuk, Iraq.
Three fighters from
ISIS were near a Peshmerga checkpoint in al-Rashad when some rampaging feral
boars killed them. Some refugees in the
area saw the partially devoured bodies on the edge of a farm.
Three days before the
boars attacked al-Assi said ISIS militants massacred 25 people fleeing
to Kirkuk from ISIS-held Hawija on the road from Mosul to Baghdad.
Weighing over 600
lbs. and equipped with razor-sharp tusks, a group of wild boars will encircle
an unsuspecting victim and attack from the rear. It’s not a pretty sight, just ask Mason Verger
from the Ridley Scott flick Hannibal.
Say it with me now: Allahu Ham Hockbar!

@ComfortablySmug This is a land of boars now, and you are not a boar.— J.J. (@J_Dot_J) April 24, 2017
