A chicken was captured while “searching the Pentagon’s security zone” – one of the most heavily guarded buildings in the world, an animal protection organization said, quoted by AFP.
Animal Welfare League staff in Arlington have been called in to pick up the hen and place her in a poultry house, the organization said on Facebook.
An attempt to break into the Pentagon was also reported by the Military Times: “Did she just get lost or did she try to cross the street? Or is she a spy on a mission to steal state secrets? For now, she keeps her beak closed.” the newspaper specializing in military affairs.
Surfers on the Internet suggested that the hen be named Ethel Rosenberg, after the famous American woman who was detained and executed for espionage in favor of the USSR in the 1950s.
