Eagle held as 'spy' by Lebanon terror group | Fox News
Bird-brained terrorists in Lebanon have taken a suspected Israeli spy into custody – an eagle that was outfitted with a transmitter that allowed conservationists to study the raptor's migratory patterns.
In the latest case of Muslim militants seeing a secret agent with wings and a beak, Iranian-backed Hezbollah forces are keeping the eagle under lock and key after it was found by hunters near the town of Ashkout, northeast of Beirut. The bird had a ring around its leg that bore the name 'Tel Aviv University,' written in English, as well as a receiver device attached, according to Hezbollah's Al Manar TV station.
Israeli spymasters, who don't typically outfit spies with such identifying markers, could not be reached for comment. But Yossi Leshem, of the Israel Ornithological Centre, told FoxNews.com the bird is innocent – and rare.
