The BBC reports that Kenyan ofishals say they’ve recovered the Koranic tuna, but I’m not buying their crappie story. I think they’d say anything to avoid possible angler, and might even resort to finny forgery just for the halibut.
A fish with markings that resembled a Koranic text has been found by Kenyan officials after vanishing from the fisheries office where it was stored.
The tuna fish, which had provoked intense interest from Muslims, had apparently been stolen by people posing as National Museum officials.
The fish was found at the shop where it had first come to public attention.
The fish was being studied to find out if the Arabic inscription “You are the best provider” was natural or a hoax.
