Rogue elephant named after Osama bin Laden caught in India after killing 5 people

GUWAHATI, INDIA - An elephant named after the late Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden that killed five Indian villagers has been caught after a massive operation to hunt down the creature, officials said on Monday (Nov 11).

Wildlife officers tracked the pachyderm - dubbed "Laden" by the locals it menaced in northeastern Assam state - through a forest for several days using drones and domesticated elephants.

"We started the final leg of the operation today... Two darts were fired by experts which tranquilised the male elephant," a senior forestry official told AFP.

"Now the work is on to shift the elephant to a forest where there is no human habitation nearby."

The animal killed five people, including three women, during a 24-hour rampage through Goalpara district in October.

Officials said they would take the elephant's welfare into account as well as the safety of people living nearby in deciding where it would be relocated.

Hong Kong police shoot protester in chest: Live broadcast

HONG KONG - A Hong Kong police officer shot at least one protester in the chest on Monday (Nov 11) morning during clashes that were broadcast live on Facebook.

Footage showed a police officer drawing his sidearm in the district of Sai Wan Ho and then attempt to detain a masked man at a road junction that had been blocked by protesters.

Another masked man then approached the police officer and was apparently shot in the chest, quickly dropping to the ground.

Seconds later, two more live rounds were fired by the officer during a scuffle and another masked man fell to the ground, although the footage was less clear as to whether he was struck.
