Osama Bin Laden Killed in India

Finally.

An elephant nicknamed “Osama bin Laden” that killed at least 11 people and injured dozens has been shot dead, officials in eastern India said on Saturday.

The wild male elephant had been terrorizing villagers in two states in recent months, destroying their crops and homes.
  
Forest officials and a police team tracked down the rogue jumbo in the eastern state of Jharkhand late on Friday, where it was shot dead, senior government official Ravi Ranjan said.

“Yes, Osama has finally been killed and it took us 20 bullets to silence him,” Ranjan told Reuters from Jharkhand on Saturday.

    What were they using?  .22LR’s?

    With a .500NitroExpress it should have been 2.  3 at max.
