Brits Depart Iraq, Leave Man-Eating Badgers


Not making this up. This probably only goes to show that when people are given over to a conspiracy mindset, there is no end to the scenarios they can make themselves believe. Apparently Iranian news is getting some mileage out of these conspiracy myths as well.......


"The Iranian news media ......... claiming that foreign forces have been fitting squirrels with miniaturized surveillance devices and sending them scurrying across the border to spy. Iranian news reports, monitored by the BBC, recently referred to 14 spy squirrels being captured by alert Iranian intelligence officials before the animals could take action against the nation."
