" - An elephant named "Osama bin Laden" that has killed 27 people in northeast India, has been shot dead, triggering protests by conservationists who say forestry officials had probably shot the wrong animal
The 10-feet tall male elephant had been terrorizing villagers in Assam state for the past two years, destroying hundreds of homes and trampling scores of people -- prompting locals to name him after the elusive al Qaeda leader.
The animal was accused of killing 14 people in the past month."
It''s such a "2" country ... makes you wonder :D
