Manama: Saudi nationals have seized a vulture wearing a Tel Aviv University tag and a transmitter, prompting speculations that it was used by Mossad, the Israeli spying agency, to gather intelligence on the area.
Reports this week said that a vulture was seized near Hail in the northern part of the country and that it was wounded.
The vulture was handed over to the Saudi security.
According to Israeli media, the tags indicated that the six-year-old bird was part of a long-term research project into migration patterns.
