SECURITY forces have "arrested" two suspected "spy pigeons" near
Iran's controversial uranium enrichment facility, local media reports.

One of the pigeons was caught near a rosewater production plant in the
city of Kashan in Isfahan province, according to the report in the
reformist Etemad Melli newspaper.

It cited an unnamed source as saying some metal rings and invisible
strings were attached to the bird.

"Early this month, a black pigeon was caught bearing a blue-coated
metal ring, with invisible strings," the source was quoted yesterday
as saying of the second pigeon.

The source gave no further description of the pigeons, their current
status nor what their fate would be.

Iran's heavily bunkered underground uranium enrichment plant is at
Natanz, not far from Kashan.

It is not the first time the Islamic Republic has accused members of
the animal kingdom of collaborating with its enemies.

Last year the country's media reported that 14 squirrels were arrested
for espionage.

"The squirrels were equipped with the spy gear of foreign agencies,
and were stopped before they could act, thanks to the alertness of our
intelligence services," the IRNA news agency wrote.

The activity at the uranium enrichment plant is the focus of Iran's
five-year standoff with the West, which that fears it aims to develop
nuclear weapons.

Tehran denies the charge.

Last year, Iran issued a formal protest over the use of espionage by
the United States to produce a key intelligence report on the
country's controversial nuclear program.
