Bear kills militants in Kashmir
By Altaf Hussain
BBC News, Srinagar
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 were armed with AK-46s 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 AK-46 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.

The bear didn't eat the pudding?
I think it was justified - a clear case of home intrusion.

The military funds research along those lines - but what if paranoid bin laden doesn't trust the expensive remote-controlled bear and they just kill and eat the poor thing?
An extensive CIA cat was run over a car in the sixties! - the Russians trained dogs to bring bombs near German tanks - and the US Army trained dolphins to place bombs on enemy submarines - also to find bombs on their own submarines.

Maybe the bear decided that it was enemy pudding and did not eat it - besides, she probably got his belly filled with tasty human flesh.

I've eaten wilder things than ivy. I even ate poke salad before I knew it was poison.

Nah, sounds as if he didn't actually eat them. And how can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat?

If poke is poison then I must be dead. I've eaten truckloads of it. we used to wait for the first poke shoots. Sure sign of Sping.

Well the US Military has Seals, so why can't they have Bears too?
