Pakistan Spy Pigeon Captured in Punjab

http://www.daily.pk/india-arrests-pa...d-guard-18012/

"Indian police are holding a pigeon under armed guard after it was caught on an alleged spying mission for arch rivals and neighbours Pakistan, media reported on Friday."

I hope they don't torture the poor thing.

If it is a Pakistani pigeon then the Indian authorities are going to have to bring in a interpreter.;)

For the Scottish pigeon fanciers amongst us - he didn't doo it!

If this is the alleged feathered miscreant, I can see why the authorities thought what they did.

The Indian Police have released images from just before the arrest by their elite anti-pigeon unit.

You lot may laugh but....

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_pigeon

Quote:

The UK maintained the Air Ministry Pigeon Section in World War II and for a while thereafter. A Pigeon Policy Committee made decisions about the uses of pigeons. The Head of the section, Lea Rayner, reported in 1945 that:
"We can now train pigeons to 'home' to any object on the ground when air-released in the vicinity... Bacteria might be delivered accurately to a target by this means,""With the latest developments of explosives and bacterial science I suggest that this possibility should be closely investigated and watched.""A thousand pigeons, each with a two ounce explosive capsule, landed at intervals on a specific target might be a seriously inconvenient surprise."
