Vulture in Saudi Custody Suspected as Mossad Agent

Saudi Arabian security forces have captured a vulture that was carrying a global positioning satellite (GPS) transmitter and a ring etched with the words "Tel Aviv University." They suspect the bird of spying for Israel, Maariv-NRG reported Tuesday. The GPS and ring were connected to the bird as part of an long-term project by Israeli scientists that follows vultures' location and altitude for research purposes.
The arrest of the vulture - whose identification code is R65 - comes several weeks after an Egyptian official voiced the suspicion that
a shark that attacked tourists off the Sinai shore was also acting on behalf of Mossad. The incidents appear to reflect a growing irrational hysteria among Arabs surrounding Israel's military prowess and the efficacy of its intelligence services.
Maariv said that the R65 was caught near the home of a sheikh in the community of Hayel in Saudi Arabia. The words "Tel Aviv University" etched in English on a ring clasped to its leg, and especially the transmitter, caused the finders to suspect espionage and alert the security forces.
Ohad Hatzofe, bird ecologist for the Nature and Parks Authority, said that the vulture story has been making the rounds in Arabic internet sites, including Al-Jazeera forums and Arabic military forums. "The subject is receiving great publicity and it is important that Saudi authorities understand that it is not true. There is also an international treaty of nature protection professionals, that forbids doing things like this," he added.

All this sounds like episodes in a comedy. I was laughing out loud reading it.
But it is REAL LIFE!! And given how the muzzies are using it as propaganda to justify their nefarious schemes, it is not really funny at all!!!!

Islam means “to submit”[to the will of God].
Islam (whether you are a so-called “moderate” or “radical”) is built on 2 main premises about the world:
1) Dar el Hareb (a state of perpetual sword [war]).
2) Dar el Islam (a state where everybody is Muslim.
So Islam is at war with the Infidels so long as the state of Dar el Hareb exists, as long as the world is not all Islamic. Once the world accepts Islam then a gracefull state of Dar el Islam will prevail. Those that disagree are to be killed, plain and simple. So SUBMITTING (women, Infidels, slaves, etc.) is all part of their world view, can't change it.

Yes, we are their targets. Israel stands in their way in the Middle East so they defame her daily. Then they get the Liberal blind masses of Europe to condemn Israel as well. All this before they openly begin attacking those very same Liberal Europeans, later on down the road. Fools, simply fools...

UPDATE
Its a bird, its a shark, its a Mossad spy |
11/01/2011 By MICHAEL GRUBB / THE MEDIA LINE
|
The spy vulture a raptor Saudis captured and accused of collecting intelligence for Israel was finally freed on Monday after six days in captivity. Prince Bandar bin Saud Al Saud, the head of Saudi Arabias wildlife agency, confirmed the global positioning technology found on the bird was being used by scientists to track its movements.
"These systems are fitted to birds and animals, including marine animals, he told reporters shortly before the release and chastised the press for irresponsible reporting. Some Saudi journalists rushed in to carry the news about this bird for the sake of getting a scoop, without checking the information.
|
But the prince is fighting a lonely battle. In Saudi Arabia and elsewhere in the Arab world, Israels Mossad spy agency is regarded as an all-powerful, all-knowing and ever-present force, dispatching two-footed, four-footed and winged agents to gather information and cause mayhem.
In the last several months, the number and, for many, the absurdity of the Mossad conspiracies seems to have grown, most notably reports that the agency dispatched harks to attack bathers in the Egyptian report of Sharm el-Sheikh. On the other hand, the number of plausible Mossad operations has increased as well in the past two years.
(edit)
It's a bird, it's a shark, it's a Mossad spy

Mossad vulture update at post #71 (Thanks, stoat!) - I'm surprised they didn't forcibly convert the bird to Islam before they let it go.

How can you be sure they didn’t? Here’s hoping that nice, Jewish vulture had his feathers crossed when they did.
