A friend of mine send me a link to this story with a note saying, "Not sure if this is hilarious or tragic."

Saudi Arabian officials have "detained" a vulture on accusations of being a spy for Israel, media reports say.

The griffon vulture was carrying a GPS transmitter bearing the name of Tel Aviv University, prompting rumours it was part of a Zionist plot.

That one's easy: It's hilarious! When nutcase Islamist regimes detain Jews on the suspicion that they're vultures, it's tragic. When they detain vultures on the suspicion that they're Jews, it's hilarious

 Don't laugh.  They have methods to force him to confess to anything.

 So if we have bald eagles, is this a yarmulke vulture?

There's a simple test, see if he goes for the non-kosher carrion.

Those Jews are evil incarnate.  First it was Jew sharks in the Red Sea, now it's spying vultures.

And I have it on good authority that Mossad is training squadrons of rabid chipmunks...

 Apparently the Arab tradition of scientific inquiry is dead and buried.  Otherwise, not only would the Saudis know of the Israeli vulture migration study, but they'd be participants.

Wow, that is cargo-cultish behavior. Are the Saudis really so ignorant that they don't understand that universities tag wildlife? I guess they can't understand because they're more concerned with tracking their women.

Would a Jewish osprey only eat gefilte fish?

Apparently they're waiting for it to start kvetching under the hot lights to prove that its a zionist plot, though I don't know what they'll have to say about kosher food restrictions as they apply to carrion eating birds.

Well, Saudis are dead from the neck up, but the Grand Mufti has reassured the people of Saudi Arabia that they don't have to worry about these carrion-eaters preying on them because there aren't enough Zionist vultures make a minyan. :-D

I hear the Vulture has been offered a part in Katie Couric's Islamic Cosby Show sitcom. Apparently, he'll be on a short leash.

Excellent point. I wonder what NASA is going to make of this.

Why do I keep imagining this vulture with the voice of Don Rickles in the Katie Couric sitcom?

Will the bird be stoned to death or just have the tagged leg chopped off?

What does Mossad expect when it sends it's agents into hostile territory on a wing and a prayer?

Hey, that's not funny. You know I'm a vegetarian.

My stupid cats seem to think it's funny, though.

Did you hear about the guy Saudi Airlines threw off the flight? His carrion luggage looked suspicious.
