Egyptian authorities detain suspected 'spy' swan
In a case that's ruffling feathers in Egypt, authorities have detained a swan that a citizen suspected of being a spy.
| A few years ago the Egyptians were convinced the Red Sea sharks were Israeli spies, the Iranians were certain America had set spy squirrels upon them in their myriads... and didn't the Turks capture an Israeli spy heron or something a few years ago? Truly it is amazing what Western science can accomplish in the hands of infidels. |
Officials say a man brought the suspected winged infiltrator to a police station on Friday in the Qena governorate, some 450 kilometres southeast of Cairo. Officials say the man suspected the bird was an undercover agent because it carried an electronic device.
The head of security in Qena said on Saturday that officials examined the bird and the device. Mohammed Kamal said the device was neither an explosive nor a spying device. It likely could be a wildlife tracker.
