Israel denies vulture detained by Saudis is a spy

 "The large bird, which was carrying a GPS transmitter and a tag bearing the identification code R65 from Tel Aviv University, strayed into rural Saudi Arabian territory at some point last week, according to a report in the Israeli daily Ma'ariv.
Residents and local reporters told Saudi Arabia's Al-Weeam newspaper that the matter seemed to be linked to a 'Zionist plot' and swiftly alerted security services. The bird has since been placed under arrest.
The accusations went viral, according to the Israeli Ha'aretz newspaper, with hundreds of posts on Arabic-language websites and forums claiming that the 'Zionists' had trained the birds for espionage."
