The bear didn't even bear arms, but killed the men with bare (but hairy) arms:

Indian police have credited a wild bear for killing two senior militants in the disputed region of Kashmir.

A police spokesman in Srinigar said the bodies of the rebels were recovered on Monday from forests in the southern district of Kulgam.
"The two had been mauled to death by a wild bear," said the police spokesman, adding that two rifles were found near their bodies.
The men - known by the names Saifullah and Qaiser - were members of the region's most powerful group Hizbul Mujahedin and had been active in Indian Kashmir for more than six years, police said.
Armed rebels in the Muslim-majority region often use the densely forested mountains as their hide-outs.
Insurgents have fought against New Delhi's rule in the disputed region since 1989.
The bulk of Kashmir is divided between India and Kashmir, with a small north-eastern portion claimed by China.
