Quote:
FOOTBALL FANS in the central African state of Congo were hurling accusations of witchcraft at each other yesterday after a freak blast of lightning struck dead an entire team on the playing field while their opponents were left completely untouched.

The bizarre blow by the weather to all 11 members of the football team was reported in the daily newspaper L'Avenir in Kinshasa, the capital of Congo.

"Lightning killed at a stroke 11 young people aged between 20 and 35 years during a football match," the newspaper reported . It went on to say that 30 other people had received burns at the weekend match, held in the eastern province of Kasai. "The athletes from Basanga [the home team] curiously came out of this catastrophe unscathed."

It's the Congo. 'Lightning' means soldiers who work for the mob in charge (and who had a bet on the game) walking onto the pitch and shooting them, I'm willing to bet.

Indeed, or something equally horrific but less voodoo.

Good bet.

On the other hand: It's the Congo. Shit like that does just happen out there.
