NEW DELHI - 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.

The white-coloured bird was found by a local resident in India's Punjab state, which borders Pakistan, and taken to a police station 40 kilometres (25 miles) from the capital Amritsar.

The pigeon had a ring around its foot and a Pakistani phone number and address stamped on its body in red ink.

Damned KGB vermin!

EDIT: Sorry about the headline, some sort of Google cockup.

They did not of course think of phoning the number - they wouuld have discovered it was of an ex-spoofer sending their latest story to spooftimes dot con.

"Chahal said local pigeon fanciers in the sensitive border area had told police that Pakistani pigeons were easily identifiable as they look different from Indian ones, according to the Indian Express newspaper."


This pigeon profiling is really getting out of hand...what does the
Council of Pigeon Ministers have to say on the matter!

A religious message....on a wing & a prayer?

Well...at least we know where Spekky is writing now......
