Tel Aviv [Israel], July 6 (ANI/TPS): Israel arrested four Palestinians trying to smuggle around 100 protected songbirds into the country from Jordan, the Israel Police announced on Sunday.

The four suspects were caught at the Allenby Bridge border crossing on Friday. The birds -- brutally concealed on the suspects' bodies -- had their feet glued to clothing. Authorities said the birds, belonging to the pheasant species, are protected under Israeli law and require special permits.

Officials warned that illegal animal imports risk spreading disease and damaging local ecosystems. (ANI/TPS)

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
