A crocodile snatched an 11-year-old Malaysian boy as he swam in a river on Borneo island, and a search party of 200 people later failed to find any sign of him.

A newspaper report said today Mohamad Azwan Hatta went swimming with a friend yesterday afternoon in the Sarawak River near Bako Ulu village when he was grabbed by the crocodile.

"It was as fast as lightning," the friend, Sulaiman Sakini, 15, was quoted as saying by the New Straits Times.

"The crocodile, as big as a boat that carries 30 people, just snatched Mohamad Azwan and pushed me aside."

Sulaiman fled in fear and shock and cowered in his room until the victim's mother came by hours later to ask where her son was.

A search party of 200 people on several boats failed to find any sign of the boy or the crocodile, the report added.[/quote:fc86e]
