Spying Vultures & Undercover Squirrels

Not that Israel's neighbours don't trust it but the Saudi Arabians have arrested a vulture on suspicion of being a Mossad spy.
The raptor was wearing a leg bracelet with 'Tel Aviv University' stamped on it and was handed over to the Saudi authorities. It is not know if the Vulture was in possession of a stolen British passport at the time of its arrest.
Recently numerous shark attacks on the banks of the Red Sea were suggested to be the work of Israel to destroy Egyptian tourism and in 2008, Palestinian authorities accused Israeli of training poison resistant rats to drive Arab residents out of Jerusalem.
But it is not just paranoid Arabs who have fallen victim to the Zionist tactic of training nature against its enemies as Iran has also been a target.
In 2007, Iranian intelligence services arrested fourteen squirrels who were suspected of conducting espionage within Iran’s borders and Iran's Islamic Republic News Agency reported capturing two pigeons carrying spy gear near its nuclear facilities.
The use of animals in war is nothing new, in WW2 the Soviet Army trained dogs to destroy enemy tanks.
The dogs were trained to run under German tanks and then an explosive tied to the poor pooch was detonated.
Problem was the dogs were trained using Soviet Tanks and kept running underneath their own ones.
This just goes to prove that we can trust nothing and we should be on our guard while discussing anything of a sensitive nature in front of the family cat and no secret documents should be placed within view of the goldfish bowl.

It's not only animals who can backfire as undercover operatives. I had considerable trouble with a pack of Cubans who bungled the comparatively simple task of breaking in to an office and installing a few wiretaps.

Of course, Liddy called them little more than animals anyway, but I always liked the little brown fellows.
