Yemeni “William Tell” shoots cigarette in friend’s mouth

A Yemeni fighter, acting like the famous Swiss legendary folk hero William Tell, used his assault Russian-built Kalashnikov rifle to shoot a cigarette in his friend’s mouth.

A U-Tube carried by regional newspapers showed the man aimed at his friend’s mouth for several seconds before shooting at the target.

The film showed the shot split the cigarette into two while his friend and another colleague with him emerged unscathed.
