THE Iraqi port city of Basra, already prey to a nasty turf war between rival militia factions, has now been gripped by a scary rumour – giant badgers are stalking the streets by night, eating humans.
The animals were allegedly released into the area by British forces.
Local farmers have caught and killed several of the beasts, but this has done nothing to dispel the rumour.

OMG it wouldn’t stop! Thank God I don’t do drugs or I’d really be freaking out now. Too funny.

This sounds like something out of a cheap horror story. “Giant corpse-eating badgers sneaking around at night...” C’mon. Dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. Who believes this junk?

It was also claimed that no one would come forward to confirm the rumors, as the Brits were badgering the witnesses...
