Iran Arrests Secret Squirrels for Suspected Spying

The official Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) reports that 14 squirrels, equipped with eavesdropping devices, have been detained by police in Iran. Foreign intelligence agencies have been blamed for the rodent raiders.

The bushy-tailed agents 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 national police chief.
