Iraqi civilian wounded by booby-trapped cows

[Jpost] A security source said on Saturday that a civilians was maimed when booby-trapped cows went kaboom! in a village in eastern Iraq, according to Al Sumeria.

The source stated that "two cow bombs went kaboom! in the village of Al Islah in the Diyala Governorate in Iraq, wounding a civilian."

Security forces cordoned off the scene and transported the injured person to a nearby hospital for treatment.

Animal-borne explosives attacks are not unheard of. In November 2003, forces of Evil fired more than a dozen rockets from donkey carts in Baghdad, according to CBS News. Iraqi police also reported the use of dogs rigged with bombs in attacks in 2005, according to The Standard.

In 2003, Paleostinian forces of Evil strapped explosives to a donkey and detonated them remotely on the road between Jerusalem and the town of Gush Etzion, The Guardian reported. No humans were maimed, but Ingrid Newkirk, founder of the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) organization, wrote to Yasser Arafat and asked him to keep animals out of the conflict.
