Vulture 'Spying For Israel' Caught In Sudan As Rumors Swirl About Feathery Secret Agents

[King_David]

A vulture tagged with GPS equipment was labeled an Israeli spy last week after it was found in Kereinek, a town in the Darfur region of western Sudan, The Telegraph reports.

The bird was discovered with GPS and solar-powered equipment capable of broadcasting images via satellite, according to Israeli wire reports. It also had a tag on its leg with "Israel Nature Service" and "Hebrew University, Jerusalem" emblazoned on it.

Ohad Hazofe, an ecologist with the Israel Nature and Parks Authority, confirmed to Israeli news station Ynet that the bird was carrying Israeli tags, but he said the vulture came to Israel from the Balkans, from which it migrates every year. He added that its tags had no photography equipment.
