An Egyptian man has performed a citizen's arrest on a swan, taking it to police on suspicion of being a spy.
The Swan was taken to a police station in the Qena governorate, 280 miles southeast of Cairo, amid increasing fears over foreign spies. The Telegraph reported that, officials said the man suspected the bird was an undercover agent because it carried an electronic device.
Head of security in Qena, Mohammed Kamal, said that officials examined the bird and the device, but found neither explosives nor a spying device. It was thought likely to be a wildlife tracker.
Earlier this year, a security guard filed a police report after capturing a pigeon he said carried microfilm reels. In 2010, theEgyptian authorities also faced scrutiny after Egyptian officials claimed they had sent sharks to kill tourists.
