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.
