A huge vulture detained in Lebanon on
suspicion of spying for Israel has been
returned home after UN peacekeepers
intervened, Israeli officials said.
The bird, which has a 1.9m (6ft 5in) wing span,
flew over the border from an Israeli game
reserve and was caught by Lebanese villagers on
Tuesday.
They became suspicious as the griffon vulture
had a tracking device attached to its tail.
It is part of a conservation project to
reintroduce raptors to the Middle East.
Wildlife officials say the vulture was brought
from Spain last year and set free about a month
ago in the Gamla Nature Reserve in the Israeli-
occupied Golan Heights.
