MULTAN, Pakistan (Reuters) - Fateh Mohammad, a prison inmate in Pakistan, woke up last weekend with a glass lightbulb that had somehow magically appeared up his anus.

Wednesday night, doctors brought Mohammad's misery to an end after a one-and-a-half hour operation to remove the object.

"Thanks Allah, now I feel comfort. Today, I had my breakfast. I was just drinking water, nothing else," Mohammad, a grey-beared man in his mid-40s, told Reuters from a hospital bed in the southern central city of Multan.

"We had to take it out intact," said Dr. Farrukh Aftab at Nishtar Hospital. "Had it been broken inside, it would be a very, very complicated situation. In keeping with the miraculous nature of the find, by Allah's grace we were able to accomplish our goal."

Mohammad, who is serving a four-year sentence for making liquor, prohibited for Muslims, said he was shocked when he was first told the cause of his discomfort. He swears he didn't know the bulb was there.

"When I woke up I felt a pain in my lower abdomen, but later in hospital, they told me this," Mohammad said. "I don't know who did this to me. I believe it is a sign from Allah, telling all that he illuminates everything and everywhere."

The doctor treating Mohammad said he'd never encountered anything like it before. He then excused himself, saying he had to get back to amputating the hands of thieves.
