Toxic drink kills 14 in Pakistan

Locally brewed toxic drink has killed at least 14 people and sent another four men to hospital in Pakistan, where alcohol is officially banned, a police release says.

At least 14 people died after drinking toxic liquor apparently made under no food-production monitoring in Multan City located in Pakistan's central city of Multan late Friday.

A police report on Monday said four other men fell seriously ill and were admitted to a local hospital after they passed out from drinking the toxic mix with doctors describing their condition as critical.

Buying and drinking alcohol is officially banned under Islamic law in Pakistan. Alcohol is officially available in Pakistan only to non-Muslims and foreigners who are issued special permits.

Police have launched an investigation into the incident.
