Birds story
The following pages were donated anonymously to The Atlas Group in 1997. A three-year research project yielded the following conclusion:
In 1981, a left-wing militia bred various species of invasive birds. Their aim was to send the birds into its enemies’ territories to decimate that ecosystem. The unit in charge of this operation kept detailed notes on all the birds they raised, and to which parts of Lebanon they were sent.
The invasive bird strategy was a complete failure, and was abandoned after seven runs.
