British Man Injured After He Explodes Firecracker In His Buttocks

Nidhi Sharma - All Headline News Staff Writer London, England (AHN) - In a
crazy incident, a 22-year-old British soldier, who recently returned from
Iraq, suffered internal injuries after he lit a small firecracker that he
inserted into his buttocks.

The man suffered burns and other unspecified internal injuries in the
incident on Sunday in Sunderland, 275 miles north of London during the
celebration of Bonfire Night, an event in Brittan.

The celebratory night in Britain is enjoyed with fireworks to commemorate
the Guy Fawkes' gunpowder plot to blow up Parliament in the 17th century.

The AP quotes Katherine Shenton, a spokeswoman for the North East Ambulance
Service as saying that she received a phone call saying the victim was
bleeding after the firecracker exploded.

The incident has been recorded on the mobile phones of many of the injured
man's friends, which shows him bending with pants down. A white flash is
seen as the firecracker explodes.
