Man busted for snakes on a plane

By at 9:16 am Thursday, May 24

Yahia Rahim Tulba attempted to bring 700 live snakes, including two poisonous cobras, on a plane at Cairo's airport. He was planning to sell the serpents in Saudi Arabia.
Tulba opened his bag to show the snakes to the police and asked the officers, who held a safe distance, not to come close...

Police confiscated the snakes and turned Tulba over to the prosecutor's office, accusing him of violating export laws and endangering the lives of other passengers.
