I could have sworn I read in a magazine somewhere that the US was assisting local Afghan forces in the Mountains of Afghanistan near the Chinese border in hunting down and terminating a man-eater Snow Leopards that killed several local woman in the remote villages up in the Himalayan mountains. Did I just imagine this or did anyone else hear of this and if so what ever happened to it?

 

 

What other instances have you heard of local large predators taking out people (civilian or otherwise) in the area where you were deployed? Supposedly they have Persian leopards in Iraq around the Iranian border, brown bears up in the mountains of Northern Kurdistan in the Anatolian area, and there are Cheetahs in the Arabian deserts.

And here I thought it was a jihadist video or something of Taliban ambushing a Canuck Leo2....

Cheetahs in the Arabian deserts.

 

It's very unlikely that a Cheetah would go after an adult human being. Snow leopards were only filmed in the wild for the first time a couple of years ago, so fat chance of shooting one.

Well, as long as those Afghans don't get too effective anti-Leopard weapons - we're sending a platoon of Leopard 2s out there.

The border with China is the Whakan Corridor, i didn't know there were any OEF/ISAF forces stationed there?

The forces in badakshan cover all that if they have to don't they?

 

I find it hard to believe a snow leopard would attack someone though, they a) aren't that big, b. aren't that agressive and c. are rare as all fuck.
