Spy Pigeons Foil Iran's Nuclear Ambitions

This one sort of cracked us up, especially after we put the pigeon into the photo.

Security forces in Natanz have arrested two suspected "spy pigeons" near Iran's controversial uranium enrichment facility.


Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has seen a few too many Alfred Hitchcock movies. He's freaking out... about pigeons.

The AFP is reporting today that Iran has "arrested" two pigeons suspected of espionage. The birds were flying around Iran's controversial uranium enrichment facility and had a suspicious look about them.

"Early this month, a black pigeon was caught bearing a blue-coated metal ring, with invisible strings," a source close to the Iranian goverment was quoted as saying of the super sneaky pigeons.

Last year, Iran issued a formal protest over the United States' use of espionage techniques to suss out their nuclear facilities.

Ahmadinejad will now add the following techniques to his "no no" list:
- Spy pigeons
- Invisibility cloaks
- Time machines
- Morse code
- Internet slang, like "LOL" and "DFTT" and especially "FFS"
