Elephant stampede in Nepal — a New Year's tragedy.

Human-elephant conflicts are often more frequent than we knew.

Where is Nepal? Nepal is between India and China.

You know what else is nearby? Afghanistan and Pakistan.

A Google investigation reveals that in 1956, the Iranian prince was injured in an elephant stampede in Pakistan:

Word reached Karachi Wednesday that a wild elephant stampede had injured the shah of Iran's brother and killed a deputy district commissioner in the thick jungles of East Pakistan's Chittagong hill tracts.

That's how wars start, you know.
