The pigeon has landed (in India)

Many may remember the WW II movie 'The Eagle has landed'  - but that wasn't as classic as the spy pigeon that landed in India and has made headlines all over the world.

According to reports, a white pigeon landed on the mud brick house of Ramesh Chandra, a barber, in Manwal village, 4 kilometres from Pakistan’s border. And the Urdu marking arose 'suspicion' and the boy told the police.

The bird was then taken to a veterinary hospital in Pathankot for an X-ray which did not reveal any clues. As per police report: “Nothing adverse has been found, but we have kept the bird in our custody,” said Pathankot senior superintendent of police (SSP) Rakesh Kaushal.

It may be added that the 'spy pigeon' landed on a day when an inter-state meeting on security was being held among officials of Punjab Police, Indian Army as well as those from Kathua and Jammu districts.

US diplomat ordered to leave Russia on 'spy-hiring' charges

A U.S. diplomat was ordered Tuesday to leave the country after the Kremlin's security services said he tried to recruit a Russian agent, and they displayed tradecraft tools that seemed straight from a cheap spy thriller: wigs, packets of cash, a knife, map and compass, and a letter promising millions for "long-term cooperation."

The Russian Federal Security Service (FSB), the successor agency to the Soviet-era KGB, identified the diplomat as Ryan Fogle, a third secretary at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow, detaining him briefly overnight.

It alleged that Fogle was a CIA officer trying to recruit a Russian counter-terrorism officer who specializes in the volatile Caucasus region in southern Russia, where the two Boston Marathon bombing suspects had their ethnic roots.

British Officer admits using fake rock to spy on Russians

Calling the espionage episode "embarrassing," a former British government official has admitted that a fake rock discovered by the Russian security service in a Moscow park in 2006 concealed a communications device planted by British spies.

"They had us bang to rights," Jonathan Powell, the chief of staff to former Prime Minister Tony Blair, says in a BBC documentary, using a British expression for being caught red-handed. "Clearly, they had known about it for some time and had been saving it up for a political purpose."

The multi-part documentary, "Putin, Russia and the West," scheduled to begin airing Thursday, includes Powell saying, "The spy rock was embarrassing."
