Nouakchott - A witness says a lightning strike has killed four people at a wedding in a village in Mauritania.
Wedding guest El Hadi Ould Mohamed says the lightning bolt struck the Friday morning festivities and killed two women and two men.
He says two other people were burned by lightning and taken to a hospital near the village of Idini, which is some 40 miles (65 kilometers) east of Nouakchott, the capital.
He says the bride and groom were not killed or injured.
Heavy rains have hit the West African nation in the recent week.

Interesting sense of balance. At first I thought this obvious 'sign from God' spelled doom for that marriage, but after reading it seems 'God' used surgical strike techniques to precisely target those involved as it did spell doom for them, or at least death.
