Saudi Arabia Captures Israeli "Spy Vulture"
(Ha'aretz) A vulture tagged by scientists in Israel strayed into Saudi Arabian territory, where it was promptly arrested on suspicion of being a Mossad spy, Israeli and Saudi media reported Tuesday. The bird was found wearing a GPS transmitter and a leg bracelet bearing the words "Tel Aviv University," Ma'ariv reported. Although the bird was part of a long-term research project into migration patterns, Arabic-language websites and forums claimed the "Zionists" had trained the bird for espionage.
