I bleep you not.
British forces have denied rumours that they released a plague of ferocious
badgers into the Iraqi city of Basra.
Word spread among the populace that UK troops had introduced strange
man-eating, bear-like beasts into the area to sow panic.
The rumours spread because the animals had appeared near the British base at
Basra airport.
Of course they have been there for a couple decades, but I wouldn't put anything past those dry witted tea drinkers. Before passing too much giggle over the stupidity, I don't think this rises to the level of the Spying Squirrels.
