A passenger arriving from Cairo caused panic at Riyadh airport when around 300 live poisonous cobras escaped from his luggage, a newspaper has reported.

Al-Jazirah quoted eyewitnesses and officials at King Khaled International Airport as saying the cobras escaped after a customs officer insisted that the man's suitcases be opened for a search.

It was not immediately known why the passenger, whose nationality was not disclosed, was carrying the snakes.

That is hillarious! Usually they catch the odd item like coffee or salami coming through customs, but his must have surprised the customs agent.

As ever, Bartender, you are a master of the understatement.
