Lions to take on Indian bandits
Lions to take on Indian bandits
By Sutapa Mukerjee
BBC News, Lucknow

Lions may soon be unleashed in the badlands of central India to restore law and order.

The government in Uttar Pradesh state has decided to set up a 371-acre lion safari park with five cats in the Chambal ravines to scare away its fabled sharp-shooting bandits.

There have been about 4,000 kidnappings and 180 murders in the bandit-infested area in the past five years.

Now the police feels setting up a lion park in the area is the only way to keep the bandits away.

2. They should borrow the King of Morocco's monkeys
didn't the king volunteer 3,000 trained bomb-detecting monkeys for service in the Coalition of the Willing?
