News of the Oddness Variety: Monkey Attack kills Indian Official

http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2007/10/21/asia/AS-GEN-India-Monkey-Menace.php

No matter how much anyone wants to complain about the United States I am pretty sure there was never a wild rhesus monkey attack that killed an elected official. New Delhi Deputy Mayor S.S. Bajwa, fell from a balcony after being attacked by a gang (don't know what a group of monkeys is called... a gaggle?) of rhesus macaques at his home. This is of course a terrible tragedy for his family, but it does seem odd as well. I'm not sure how I would react if I saw multiple monkeys coming towards me acting openly aggressive. Maybe throw a banana (I wasn't going to eat them anyways, I hate bananas).
