After police authorities in Saudi Arabia “arrested” a vulture for allegedly spying for Israel, Israeli scientists are asking the Saudi government to release their bird.
The vulture prompted Saudis to take action against to thwart the “Zionist plot” after authorities discovered it had been tagged with a transmitter labeled “Tel Aviv University.” But Ohad Hatzofe, an Israeli avian ecologist, told the UK’s Telegraph that the bird was only carrying a GPS tracker so scientists could track its movement, noting that the bird may not even have originated in Israel.
“This bird didn’t stay in Israel in the breeding season, so it might be a Turkish bird, it might be a Jordanian bird, or even be Saudi Arabian.”

Posted on January 8, 2011 at 3:06amCan voltures be trained? Am I missing something? There is a resue center here in my area that tags every animal and bird that comes through their program, should I be worried? Silly Saudi’s the most a volture can be expected to do is clean up dead critters. By the way, I love the comment from SCOUT N AMBUSH. Maybe I am wrong but I think you are military. If so , thanks for your service. If not then I am pretty much embarrassed. Oops.

Posted on January 7, 2011 at 11:36pmthats the biggest problems with the total control theocratic nations. there is no intelligence only blind paranoia. these islamist nations have attacked and destroyed anything not like them and spent the last 1300 yrs telling their people that everyone is out to get them, when it is they who are the agressors. thats the problem with conspiracy theorists. not that they may be wron, but they force themselves to fit the evedence around the theory, instead of the opposite. gee sounds like global warming dont it..

Posted on January 7, 2011 at 9:49pmIs the bird Jewish or Muslim? Did they check to see if it was circumcised or not? There are too many unanswered questions about this freak story to make an intelligent appraisal of the international threats posed by said bird, so maybe it should be referred to the UN for investigation and possible censure of somebody or anybody or even nobody. I can‘t believe I’m wasting my time even commenting on it!

On the good side, they hunted down the EXACT sharks and killed them before they could make it to the open ocean. Good work Scooby!

Posted on January 7, 2011 at 9:47pmOh how correct you are…. there is PLENTY of that running about the globe.
This fella is trying to save the bird’s life, but if I had to guess, it was already cut to pieces looking for the “Hidden Camera” and a Hidden Laser Range finder, and a Hidden Magnetic Anomaly Detector, and the Hidden Wingtip mounted Gravimetric Photon Pulse Cannons… and… and… and… all the other stuff the Mossad routinely packs into robotic vultures soaring through the skies of a desert completely devoid of all life, particularly INTELLIGENT life….
I’m certain, that when the Mossad upgrades this new long range spying device, they’ll be SURE to pull the “Tel Aviv University” tags off of them this time so as not to create any undue suspicions of the spreading Zionist plot! It’s not a dead give away, but it’s close enough that a stray eyebrow might rise….
Paranoia the most destructive force on Earth….
