Stampeding boars managed to run riot in an Islamic State hide out, killing three jihadis.

The Isis fighters were killed while setting up an ambush in a violently contented region in north Iraq.

As the militants were hiding on the outskirts of a field 50 miles southwest of Kirkuk, they were overwhelmed by a herd of stampeding.

A chief of the local Ubaid tribe told the Times that three militants were killed and another five injured by the rowdy hogs.

‘It is likely their movement disturbed a herd of wild pigs, which inhabit the area as well as the nearby cornfields.’



The local leader claimed Isis were planning to attack a group of tribesmen who were forced to leave their homes and flee to the nearby mountains when militants claimed Hawija, around 100 miles south of Mosul, three years ago.

Three days before the boars attacked, so-called Daesh fighters are believed to have executed 25 people attempting to escape the caliphate.
