I'm not generally much of a one for the "link to news for the sake of it" post, but this one was irresistable. According to the BBC News website...

UK military spokesman Major Mike Shearer said: "We can categorically state that we have not released man-eating badgers into the area."

Which is the kind of thing our armed forces probably don't have to state (categorically or otherwise) all that often. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/low/world/middle_east/6295138.stm.
