A little light relief.
Hunt on for killer elephant Laden
Man has been encroaching on elephant habitats
Rangers in India's Assam state have issued a shoot-on-sight order on a killer rogue elephant named after al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden.
Laden has trampled 14 people to death in the past six months in the north-eastern state, officials say.
The order came after the rogue bull killed a woman on Wednesday. So far he has eluded hunters.
Humans and elephants have come into greater conflict in recent years as man encroaches on jungle territories.
Elephant corridor
Assam's wildlife warden Chandan Bora said the order had been given to kill the rogue elephant within a week.
But he said: "We've hired a licensed hunter to kill the rogue elephant but so far Laden is untraceable.
"The hunter, accompanied by about five forest guards, is still in the jungles trying to hunt down Laden."
Laden was branded a "rogue" - a violent, isolated elephant - in the summer after the deaths reached double figures.
He was given his name by villagers in Assam's eastern district of Sonitpur.
Assam sits on the corridor used by Siamese elephants, a corridor that stretches from northern Thailand to the foothills of Bhutan.
A similar rogue elephant killed 12 people in a day in 1992 in the same district of Sonitpur.

Stand by for some dodgy looking videos, of an elephant with a stick on beard trying to conceal his trunk.

LOL superb.
Although, I have my doubts that this Bin Laden picture is actually the real Bin Laden.
His tusks are way to long for a start and where's the AK47 ?

This is a genuine photograph. What many people do not know is that Bin Laden had cosmetic surgery to alter his appearance. Unfortunately the surgeon was French and something got lost in translation when OBL said he wanted to look radically different.
I often chuckle when I think of him coming round and the anesthetic wearing off - 'Pass me a mirror'.

OK I was wrong.
I do now accept that this photo is genuine and at last the world can know why the global police have failed to apprehend him.
His smaller chum looks uncannily Bushy to me - proof positive that they are and always have been in cahoots.
