Three Islamic State militants setting up an ambush in a bitterly contested area of northern Iraq were killed by a herd of stampeding boars, local leaders say.
Sheikh Anwar al-Assi, a chief of the local Ubaid tribe and supervisor of anti-ISIS forces, told The Times of London the militants were hiding on the edge of a field about 50 miles southwest of Kirkuk when the boars overwhelmed them Sunday. Five other militants were injured, al-Assi said. He said the group was poised to attack a band of local tribesmen who had fled to nearby mountains since militants seized the town of Hawija three years ago.
It is likely their movement disturbed a herd of wild pigs, which inhabit the area as well as the nearby cornfields, he said.
Hah! Even the swine have finally started turning against the swine. I'll be eating bacon and carnitas to celebrate!

Perhaps Trump and the Pentagon should reconsider their tactics in combating ISIS. Being the King Pig, Trump could lead an army of other Pigs (his supporters) on a fearsome attack of the ISIS strongholds, rooting them out and destroying them once, and for all. As Trump opined in his campaign speeches, he knows "more than the Generals" about the subject of defeating ISIS, and DID promise to wipe out ISIS within the first 30 days of his administration. He's behind schedule, but I believe he and his Pig Army should be dispatched immediately to the fields of northern Iraq.
Victory over terrorism is merely a Pig stampede away!
