Iraqi swallows 52 lighters
14 February 2009
Kirkuk - An Iraqi man traumatised by the 1991 Gulf War has been operated on after having swallowed 52 lighters, doctors and his sister said on Saturday.
The 48-year-old man, who took part in the invasion of Kuwait that triggered the war, was admitted to hospital in the northern city of Kirkuk this week with strong abdominal pains, Dr Delchad Saber said.
An X-ray showed foreign objects in his stomach ... and 52 lighters were removed, after which he was transferred to the psychiatric wing of the hospital.
"This is a rare case," Saber added.
The patient's sister said the man has living like a recluse at home in the city, which itself is rife with violence in war-torn Iraq, ever since the conflict over Kuwait.
