Been a bad couple of weeks for ISIS--First hit by the MOAB--NOW THIS?

A herd of wild boars assaulted an Islamic State position Sunday, killing at least three of the terrorists and injuring another five.

The ferocious beasts attacked the ISIS fighters as they were preparing an ambush in a reed field approximately 55 miles southwest of Kirkuk, Iraq, a local sheikh told The Times of London. The ISIS fighters were preparing a surprise attack on a group of local tribesmen who had formed an anti-ISIS militia in the nearby Hamrin mountains.

Unfortunately for the boars, ISIS later “took revenge at the pigs that attacked the farmland,” a source told Alsumaria news.

Wild boars, called a sounder when in a group, are known for their ferocity, particularly in herds.

“Experienced hunters say that wild boar can be even more dangerous to hunt than a bear,” according to an article by Hunter Course, a hunting safety website. “Equipped with thick, razor-sharp tusks, and a razor-sharp mind, a wild board can weigh a staggering 660 lbs. and exhibit extremely aggressive and unpredictable behavior.”

Hunter Course warned that a wounded boar will sometimes bait a hunter into the bush where its herd will lie in wait.

The boars will then encircle an unsuspecting person, and attack from the rear.
