Koose Muniswamy Veerappan

I started reading the next chapter about south Asia and I came across the section talking about a man named Koose Veerappan. Koose died nearly two years ago, but his actions have made a definate and lasting impression on India. Veerappan is India's most notorious fugitive and was wanted in connection with more than 100 murders. He was also a member of a gang in the 1960's, and went on, according to a local legend to kill more than 2,000 elephants. The article goes on to say other offenses this man had committed. In the end, one of his associates (or member of his gang), betrayed him. This guy kind of reminds me of Osama Bin Laden. The U.S. is accusing him as the mastermind behind 9/11. Just like Koose, Osama seems to be a mastermind at avoiding U.S. troops.
