'Suicide bomber' squirrel leaves politician with a fractured skull and broken nose after 'revenge' attack - one month after he called for a crackdown on 'aggressive' rodents
 
One of those strange life coincidences that may reflect divine justice, or karma, or just plain animal revenge:
Chicago Alderman Howard Brookins attacked by a squirrel
*  Alderman Howard Brookins Jr (right), who represents Chicago's 21st ward, was biking on a trail earlier this month when a squirrel jumped it front of him and got caught in the spokes of his front wheel, sending him flying over the handle bars.
*  The incident seemed like a rather violent coincidence, as Brookins had just a month prior raged against the city's 'aggressive' squirrels during a city council meeting, lambasting them for eating their way through Chicago's trash cans.
*  The squirrel, whom Brookins compared to a kamikaze and a 'suicide bomber, getting revenge', didn't survive the apparent attack and died in the councilman's front wheel. It is pictured left after the incident, still lodged in Brookins' bike.
*  Brookins got out of the hospital Thursday but will need several months and additional surgeries to recover fully. He said in a Facebook post (inset) Sunday that his injuries would keep him out of office for a while.
