Five people were killed this week by a rampaging elephant that terrified villagers have dubbed “Laden” after the murderous terror leader Usama bin Laden, according to reports.

The victims were trampled to death and villager Rajen Rabha said it happened Tuesday night in Assam state, Agence France-Presse reported.

"But that was not all. In the past Laden has also attacked our villages and killed people and destroyed our paddy fields," Rabha told the news outlet.
