Default Squirrel 'spies' seized

Police in Iran are reported to have taken 14 squirrels into custody - because they are suspected of spying.

The rodents were found near the Iranian border allegedly equipped with eavesdropping devices, according to Sky News.

The reports have come from the official Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA).

When asked to confirm the story, the national police chief said: "I have heard about it, but I do not have precise information."

The IRNA said that the squirrels were kitted out by foreign intelligence services - but were captured two weeks ago by police officers.

A Foreign Office source told Sky News: "The story is nuts."

But if true, this would not be the first time animals have been used to spy.

During the Second World War, the Allied Forces used pigeons to fly vital intelligence out of occupied France.

More recently, US marines stationed in Kuwait have used chickens as a low-tech chemical detection system.

So Secret Squirrel really exists then? I thought it was just a cartoon

Oh, and whilst on the subject of squirrels. If you know any German or Dutch people ask them to say "squirrel". The majority of them just cant say it

A policeman caught a nasty little boy with a penknife in one hand and a squirrel in the other.

"Now listen here," the policeman said,
"Whatever yo do to that poor, defenceless creature I shall personally do to you"

"In that case," said the boy,
"I'll kiss it's butt and let it go"
