Spy Games 2

Jerusalem, Israel (AHN) -- Iranian authorities have recently arrested more than a dozen squirrels for espionage.

 

"In recent weeks, intelligence operatives have arrested 14 squirrels within Iran's borders," state-sponsored news agency IRNA reported. "The squirrels were carrying spy gear of foreign agencies, and were stopped before they could act, thanks to the alertness of our intelligence services."

 

Iran claims the rodents were being used by Western powers in an attempt to undermine the Islamic Republic.

 

Iranian police commander Esmaeil Ahmadi-Moqadam confirmed the report, saying that a number of squirrels had been caught bearing foreign spy gear within Iran's borders.

 

The rodents were taken into custody 2 weeks ago but few details have emerged about the incident. "I have heard about it, but I do not have precise information," said the police commander.

 

Iran has recently stepped up its anti-espionage efforts against the West. There have been no other documented uses of rodents in the past.

I wonder if the Geneva Convention applies to squirrels of war.

I can't wait for the footage of the squirrels being held hostage and forced to read pro-Iranian stuff.

that's... very strange. However it's not out of the question - that would actually be sort of ingenious - outfitting animals/rats/squirrells with spy gear, and let em scurry around.

Wouldn't work. You just can't train a critter with a brain that small to aim a camera at a building and then not move. The USA sticks to what it's good at, satellite pics and wiretapping.
