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 .
"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.The animal killed five people, including three women, during a 24-hour rampage through Goalpara district in October. Nearly 2,300 people have been killed by elephants in India over the last five years, according to official figures released in June, while 700 elephants have been killed since 2011 - figures resulting in part from shrinking natural habitats.
