Armed fighters in Yemen suspected griffon vulture Nelson of espionage and detained him. Nelson was ringed in Bulgaria.
Bulgarian organizations for the protection of animals have called for his release. Nelson is one of the few vultures in Bulgaria. He was brought from Spain and set free in Bulgaria by the Fund for Wild Flora and Fauna. During his annual migration Nelson strayed from his flock, flew over Turkey and a large part of the Arabian Peninsula and was finally caught in Yemen. The fighters mistook the GPS tracker on his foot for an espionage device and the ring for a mini-camera, and thought the bird had been sent by an Iran-supported Shiite grouping.
Negotiations are underway for Nelson's release.
