Python rescued from bush

Authorities at a Bangladesh university rescued a 7ft python from a bush outside a dormitory, where the snake was apparently stalking a domestic cat, a college official and students said today.

One resident student found the python, weighing about 10 kilograms, late Friday at Ziaur Rahman Hall at Dhaka University, who trapped it with the help of friends using bamboo sticks and a jute sack, administrator Borhan Uddin Khan said.
