Operation removes lightbulb from anus

MULTAN, Pakistan (Reuters) - Fateh Mohammad, a prison inmate in Pakistan, says he woke up last weekend with a glass lightbulb in his anus.
Wednesday night, doctors brought Mohammad's misery to an end after a one-and-a-half hour operation to remove the object.

"Thanks Allah, now I feel comfort. Today, I had my breakfast. I was just drinking water, nothing else," Mohammad, a grey-beared man in his mid-40s, told Reuters from a hospital bed in the southern central city of Multan.

"We had to take it out intact," said Dr. Farrukh Aftab at Nishtar Hospital. "Had it been broken inside, it would be a very very complicated situation."

Mohammad, who is serving a four-year sentence for making liquor, prohibited for Muslims, said he was shocked when he was first told the cause of his discomfort. He swears he didn't know the bulb was there.

"When I woke up I felt a pain in my lower abdomen, but later in hospital, they told me this," Mohammad said.

"I don't know who did this to me. Police or other prisoners."

The doctor treating Mohammad said he'd never encountered anything like it before, and doubted the felon's story that someone had drugged him and inserted the bulb while he was comatose.

Woman, 43, gets HIV, tries to infect many black men

A BITTER blonde infected with the Aids virus went on a vengeful mission to spread the disease.

Sarah Jane Porter, 43, was made HIV positive by a black lover — and set out to pass it to other Afro-Caribbean men.

She is thought to have had unprotected sex with DOZENS.

The single mum, of Kennington, South London, was yesterday jailed for infecting one ex — and branded “pure evil”.

A former lover of Porter told last night how she set out on a callous “payback mission”.

The 37-year-old man — known as Mr B — called her “sick in the head”.

And he told how she continued to sleep around even while awaiting trial for deliberately infecting another ex.

Mr B said: “She caught HIV off a black guy and now she’s on a payback mission. All the guys she has slept with are black.

“Her thinking seems to be, ‘Why should I be the only one to suffer? Why shouldn’t they suffer as well?’.

“Sarah is very, very attractive — the sort of woman any guy would love to be with.

“But make no mistake, she is a very dangerous woman.”

The lover she infected, known as Mr C, branded her “pure evil”. Porter, a Vidal Sassoon salon receptionist, is thought to have had unprotected sex with DOZENS of young Afro-Caribbean men she met in nightclubs.

One is a well-known figure in the music world.

Yet she feigned shock and tears when Mr C discovered he was HIV positive — and let him believe HE had infected HER.

It was not until months later that the victim, an events manager, discovered through a mutual friend that Porter was carrying the deadly Aids virus BEFORE she met him.

Fire officials called to the scene Tuesday found two men that Enrique hired were inside the unreinforced hole, using a bucket and rope to remove dirt.
