A 40-year-old man has been pulled out alive from the rubble of his house eight days after an earthquake, the official Islamic Republic News Agency reported Tuesday. Ahmad Habibzadeh was found alone under his destroyed house in Zarand in southeastern Iran. Unable to talk, he was taken to a hospital in Kerman province, the agency said. The powerful quake of magnitude 6.4 killed 612 and injured more than 1400 on Feb. 22. It leveled several villages and left thousands of people homeless. Iran is located on seismic fault lines and is prone to earthquakes. It experiences at least one slight quake everyday on average.
