{{Sudanese media reported on Thursday that Darfur authorities found an Israeli Park Services GPS chip attached to the bird. }} <\/p>\n
The vulture was on an espionage mission for the Tel Aviv regime, the media stated, adding that the bird had a leg band with labels that read in Hebrew, \u201cIsrael Nature Service\u201d and \u201cHebrew University, Jerusalem.\u201d <\/p>\n
The equipment fastened to the vulture was capable of taking photos and sending them back to Israel.<\/p>\n
However, Israel\u2019s National Parks Service has denied the reports and said that both the GPS chip and the device were used by ecologists to track migration. <\/p>\n
On October 24, Sudanese Minister of Information Ahmed Bilal Osman said four Israeli warplanes had attacked a weapons production factory in the Sudanese capital, Khartoum, killing at least two people. <\/p>\n
Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir said on October 26 that the \u201creckless behavior is a manifestation of Israel\u2019s concerns and nervousness about the political and social upheavals in the region and about the progress in Sudan.\u201d <\/p>\n
Sudan is not the only state reporting the capture of a bird with Israeli spying equipment attached to it. <\/p>\n
In 2011, Saudi media reported that authorities had captured a griffon vulture with Israeli spying equipment attached to one of its legs, and a \u201cTel Aviv University\u201d label.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
