QUETTA (Pakistan) September, (NNI): Four people atop a moving
passengers' bus died here Wednesday after being bitten by a snake, which
had wriggled out of a flying eagle's claws.
Passengers told NNI that the deadly snake hell on them
from claws of a an eagle flying just above as they sat on top of a
passenger's van bound on the national Sibi Highway. The bus was
proceeding to Sadiqabad in Punjab province from Quetta, metropolis of
Balochistan province.
The snake apparently injured by the eagle fell on the
passengers and immediately struck four of them causing their instant
death and creating panic among others. The bus was immediately stopped
and the snake killed. The names of the victims could not be known.-NNI
