CCArchive Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 Turkey villagers see Israeli spy in migratory bird Common European bee-eater (file picture) Bee in the bonnet: At one point a counterterrorism unit became involved. A migratory bird has caused alarm in a village in south-eastern Turkey after locals mistook it for an Israeli spy. Villagers' suspicions were aroused when the bird, a common European bee-eater, was found dead in a field with a metal ring around its leg stamped "Israel". They called the police after deciding its nostrils were unusually large and may have carried a microchip fitted by Israeli intelligence for spying. It was taken to government experts for examination and declared safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
