Three Islamic State militants setting up an ambush in a bitterly contested area of northern Iraq were killed by a herd of stampeding boars, local leaders say.
To be clear, wild pigs killed wild Moslem fanatics.
Is there anything bacon can't do?
Meanwhile, Iraqi soldiers continue to kill jihadis the terrestrial way:
Iraqi Counter Terrorism Service spokesman Sabah al-Nuaman said security forces killed about 500 Islamic State militants and captured the Islamic State's "core" when it seized the al-Tenek district. Nuaman said forces need to capture four more Mosul neighborhoods before completely capturing Iraq's second-largest city.
Trained troops are still the best way to kill jihadis, of course.
But God's help is always welcome.
UPDATE: In more earthly news, Iraqis expect to fully defeat ISIL in Mosul in May.
