Raid on Al Qaida camp finds Chinese-made drone, links to Pakistani legislator
Pakistani military forces raided an Al Qaida base in the northern part of the country near the Afghanistan border Sept. 12 and found an unmanned aircraft that authorities believe was used for reconnaissance.
The Chinese-made aircraft had not been outfitted with a camera and was not capable of carrying weapons. But it is believed the terrorist group had planned to configure the plane with a camera. The range and capability of the aircraft were limited, and officials believe it could have provided limited security against approaching forces.
Pakistani security forces also seized an explosive-laden suicide jacket and passports from Jordan, Afghanistan and Pakistan.
