Police defuse a bird bomb in northern Afghanistan
For the first time Afghan police discover and defused a bomb which was planted in a bird’s body in northern Faryab province.
Faryab is one of the thirty-four provinces of Afghanistan, which is located in the north of the country bordering neighboring Turkmenistan.
According to local police, the suspicious bird was flying over a police check point on Faryab- Jawzjan high way in Shereen Tagab distract, when police start tracking it.
“The bird which also had a GPS on the top of his head was used by unknown sources possibly Taliban against the police forces, Ahmadullah an afghan public order police solder said.
“They tried to divert the animal but it eventually had to be stopped with a rifle shot. A team went out and realized there was something suspicious under the bird. One brave soldier set it on fire to the bird with a sniper and there was a considerable explosion. (sic)
“No-one was hurt thanks to the swift action taken and they were saved from a very unusual attack.” He said. (sic)
According to Ahmadullah, it is first time that they faced with that this kind of bomb which was suppose to use against governmental institution by planting in a wild bird .
Afghan police target the bird by sniper soon after identify it as a bomber and explode a few meters a way above the police chick point. (sic)
It is not clear yet who had plan to use this bird as a bomber against afghan police but Faryab province is one of those area in northern Afghanistan which is recently wetness of Taliban and Al-Qaida activities . (sic)
But the incident has alarmed military chiefs concerned that the Taliban are now using desperate methods to attack occupying forces.
This is the first time that insurgents use a bird to lunch (sic) bomb attack on afghan forces, before that the Taliban use donkeys to launch bomb attacks on afghan and international forces in Afghanistan . (sic)
A research project somewhere has just lost a volunteer.
Typical falconry transmitter. You pay 20,000 for a bird, you want to know where it is. The leg band is very typical.
Someone just lost a pricey pet.
They've had enough.
OK, so the birds are NOT fed with ultra-spicy local cuisine & used AS bombers…
(Curryer Pigeons ;?)
I wonder what ever became of that guy.
Captain Ramirez: The chicken is in the pot, over.
Clark: Cook it!
In defense of civilization I’d prefer this ornery ornithological onslaught over Big Bird, Elmo, Mr. Hooper, the endless cast of AIDS “victims” and their fellow kiddie TV sodomites.
I’m cool with Ernie and Bert, though. At least they don’t try to shove it down our throats. Plus, heck: they’re monogamous, and funny.
For a sniper shooting the bird that exploded, it looks pretty whole to this Freeper.
That's All Folks!
So, yes, this story is pure hogwash.
When I was in my youth, my cousin and I, armed with identical Crosman 760s, would wander the woods on airgun safaris. I seemed to have a knack for the longer range shots, but he was (and remains to this day) uncanny with his ability to hit moving targets. He would, with some regularity, take starlings on the wing out to 75' or so.
There are a lot of grammar, spelling and syntax problems in the report; obviously because the website and reporters seem to be MEers. You just have to smoke out the salient information and ignore the booboos.
Maybe anything with a long barrel in the ME is a “rifle”. Do they use shotguns in the ME? What for?
I agree, the so called bird carcass looks phony.
The plumage looks like a hen pheasant. Some kind of upland gamebird. Do they have those in the ME?
LOL!
Ahmadullah seems to be quite the story teller. That bird is one tough character if indeed there was a considerable explosion from explosives carried by him.
Ahmadullah may have been hitting the sauce or watching too many 0bama pressers and learned the art of lying from our fearless leader, quite possibly both.
It's what they do. Lol.
This is bizarre?!?!

Looks like a previous poster was right, banded and tagged like that, someone has lost a flightless research subject.
