EGYPTIAN customs officers have seized 150 live snakes from a Sudanese man preparing to board a flight to the Kenyan capital Nairobi. The authorities spotted the snakes, which had not been declared, when the passenger tried to pass them through the electronic scanner in boxes at Cairo airport. The passenger later boarded a Kenya Airways flight for Nairobi, without the snakes, which were handed over to the Egyptian environment ministry, airport sources said. – AFP
