Default Iran executes 'Mossad spy
If he was passing on information to Mossad, of any nature, than he's a spy. In the US execution is a punishment for espionage (though we don't use it)

So you think if you go somewhere and then talk about current events among your friends back home, that's the same as passing sensitive information (there is a reason only authorized personnel are allowed in even civilian nuclear reactors) along to the C.I.A.? WTF?!!

If some fellow named Ahmad were caught sending blueprints for a nuclear reactor to al-Qaeda, we'd all be for his very long-term imprisonment (at the least).

From the story it's unclear what he did. IF he discussed/passed along non-confidential information I don't see it as a problem. There is a difference between gathering information and espionage.

Sending a phone book or newspaper back home is full of information but none is classified.

Iranian security continue their successful strike against foreign spies:

Iranian Police Smash Squirrel Spy Ring
4:32pm UK, Thursday July 12, 2007

Police in Iran are reported to have taken 14 squirrels into custody - because they are suspected of spying.


The rodents were found near the Iranian border allegedly equipped with eavesdropping devices.

The reports have come from the official Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA).

When asked about the confiscation of the spy squirrels, the national police chief said: "I have heard about it, but I do not have precise information."

The IRNA saidthat the squirrels were kitted out by foreign intelligence services - but they were captured two weeks ago by police officers.

A Foreign Office source told Sky News: "The story is nuts."

But if true, this would not be the first time animals have been used to spy.

During World War II the Allied Forces used pigeons to fly vital intelligence out of occupied France.

More recently, US marines stationed in Kuwait have used chickens as a low-tech chemical detection system.

And it is well documented that dolphins have been used to seek out underwater mines.

It is even claimed that M15 once planned to recruit a team of specially-trained gerbils as a secret weapon to sniff out spies. Re: thread topic - I can't help but feel sorry for the guy, guilty or not

How exactly does an electronics salesman know about secret nuclear programs?
