U.S. soldier kills tiger in Baghdad [View All]

[dArKeR]

ADIL SALMAN MOUSA told Reuters a group of U.S. soldiers were having a party in the zoo on Thursday night, after it had closed.
       “Someone was trying to feed the tigers,” he said. “The tiger bit his finger off and clawed his arm. So his colleague took a gun and shot the tiger.”
       The night watchman said the soldiers had arrived in military vehicles but were casually dressed and were drinking beer.
       There was no immediate U.S. comment.
       At the tiger’s now-empty cage, pools of blood showed that the soldier passed through a first cage intended only for keepers and was standing right up against the inner cage’s narrow bars.
       Mousa said U.S. officials came to see him on Friday to discuss the incident.
