Spies caught in Iran

Three suspected intelligence agents were caught sneaking into Iran and were captured, their cover story: hiking.

Americans should know better than to go wandering off into Arab land. In Afghanistan where the battle is hot and bloody: A straggler was captured by Taliban and is currently being paraded in front of cameras. Scimtars are being sharpened  and al-Qaeda are swarming towards his location. Southern Turkey is awash with Turkish soldiers fighting Kurdish separatists. Al Qaeda is still lurking in Iraq and despite the draw down of troops and subsiding hostility, flashpoints and bad blood is still there.

That is why when east coast linguists flying all the way from the United States get caught in Iran I’m not convinced for a second. Having a wander in the great wilderness of Southern Turkey, Northern Iraq and finally Northern Iran? Enjoying the mountain air are you? Waterfalls and caves you say?  The fourth member of the party had a sniffle? Just who do you think you are fooling? This story will fly under the radar for obvious reasons. Hands up, “Oh shit we were caught spying” is never going to be seen or heard. Just like the “journalists” that prowl Korean landscapes and show up in Tehran, or the sailors that go sailing into Iranian waters on joy rides, Western individuals often fall prey to defective navigation devices around a country they refuse to talk to. So Shane Bower, Sara Short and Joshua Fattal, what do you think your chances are of getting field positions in the future? That $50-90K salary doesn’t look so hot now huh?

If America had normal relations with Iran, spies could come and go via the airport quite freely and hikers could traipse all over the landscape without suspicious and most likely tipped off troops encircling them.

It wasnt crab people after all.

A Korean owned ship the MT Ann and an Iraqi owned ship the MV Hounslow have been reported as being impounded for being connected with the cutting of the undersea internet cables reported earlier this year.
In The first few months of the year the undersea cable connecting the middle east to the rest of the world experience several breaks leading many to believe that there was sabotage or human error.
Both ships were located in Dubai. Whether the two are connected in unknown but it is noted that Korean-Iraqi boat traffic has risen 20 fold since the beginning of the Iraq war.


The prefixes of the Ann and Hounslow indicate that they are a motorized tanker and a motorized ship respectively. The Houslow is most likely diesel run.
It was reported that the owner of the Ann has admitted liability and was fined $60,000 (roughly £30,000)

So far Masopher has been unable to ascertain whether any of the sea men on Ann were discharged. She declined to comment.
