I heard this on the news this morning and its just now sinking in. WTF??? How sophisticated are these creeps? Satellite phones, suitcase nukes and drones??

Haven't found a link to verify it yet, but apparently they found the Chinese made drones in a recent raid in Pakistan.

Linky found

The al-Qaida hideout appeared to be a fairly sophisticated outpost, Hussain said, with communications equipment to contact militants in Afghanistan, a cache of bombs, detonators and rockets, and a tiny Chinese-made drone aircraft used for surveillance.

hahahhaha, these guys get millions of dollars from people so I would expect for them to be fairly sophisticated in some cases.

You actually attend UNC? Unbelievable. Have you not seen ANY of the news in the last 5 years? Your surprise at their sophistication is ... well... surprising.

Hey, I know they have their own underground Western Union and that they are pretty skilled at raising financing. I guess I didn't know drone aircraft are available for purchase in arms markets.
