State and private media showed special interest in a carrier pigeon carrying paper and microfilm that was found on Sunday.
According to the state owned news agency MENA, the pigeon was found by a security guard in Shubra al-Kheima, north of Cairo, who reported it to the police.
The pigeon as well as both the paper and the microfilm were sent, amid high security, to the Crime Laboratory.
Written on the paper was “Islam Egypt 2012.”
State TV quoted a senior official at the Qalyubiya Security Directorate as saying that they are checking the contents of the microfilm. The directorate assigned two senior officers, General Mohamed al-Qusairy and Brigadier General Usama Ayesh, to conduct the investigations on the pigeon
Carrier pigeons were used in ancient times as a messengers, as well as during the First World War. One French pigeon received a medal for doing its job despite being injured.

I think I might be better off using a carrier pigeon than using Viber or Skype.

Re: Pigeon investigated by police
Carrier Pigon, Microfilm ? How old was this Pigeon ? 67 ?
Carrying secrets from WW2..
I could understand if it had an 8 gig micro-SD card, but Microfilm ??
Handy also that a Security Guard found it dont you think, out of all the millions of people in Egypt, a Security guard !!!

Re: Pigeon investigated by police
Sorry 'bout that..
Imagine, the pigon in handcuffs, bright light shining in it's face with the Good Cop Bad cop routine being played out in a smokey room...
Don't shoot the messenger and all that
FREE THE PIGEON NOW !!!
I have employed Elton John to rewrite this great song written by Bernie Taupin to get the campaign underway..
( Bernie may have to tweak the lyrics like he did with Candle in the Wind for Diana )

Re: Pigeon investigated by police
Walter, I shall name him Walter...
You have to personify these creatures, it makes them more endearing, and get's more public support...
Any news on our feathered friend ?
Hopefully the Rozzer's haven't shoved an ungreased truncheon up his arse yet.
That would certainly make me squeal..
But having such a low pain tolerance, I would tell them anything they wanted to hear..
Once we have him freed, we will leave him in the tender loving care of Who2..
He will be nursed back to full health, and be well treated,
fed on rare Tibetan corn, hand picked by the Dalai Lama himself, blessed by buddah and cooked by Angels.. He will live like a king. !!! ..
and treated to a..... nice Pink rinse..
Maybe the truncheon is a better option..

It must be a very large pigeon or a very small truncheon Bullet Magnet.
