Suicide Donkeys...
It seems that terrorists are using suicide donkeys to carry out missions. They pack them with explosives and then detonate them.
Let me tell you something. If you use a donkey for a suicide mission, you can pretty much kiss your ass goodbye.

A Return to Normalcy in Kirkuk
KIRKUK — In the southern Rishad valley of Kirkuk province lies the remote village of Gaydah, located several miles off the nearest main road and even further from the nearest substantial city or district.
Already accustomed to seclusion, the village residents were surprised when Soldiers from the 10th Mountain Division showed up in their community in February. The residents were more surprised when they announced that they would set up operations there; living and working with the residents for the next two months.
Operating from within a schoolhouse in the area, the Soldiers spent the next several weeks meeting with the villagers, providing humanitarian aid, rebuilding infrastructures, and planning future civil service projects.
