Should you happen to stumble across a military drone, it’s not finder’s keepers.

In May 2010, the Pentagon alerted federal investigators that one of its birds — an RQ-11A/B “Raven” — had popped up on eBay for the relatively affordable sum of $13,000. Nine photos of the craft were posted, and they included markings that allowed the Defense Department to identify the Raven as the property of U.S. Southern Command.

The seller of the one on e-Bay, a native of the Philippines, sold the small craft to an undercover officer with the Department of Homeland Security who was pretending to be a American middleman for a Russian buyer. The drone — which is commonly used by U.S. forces in Afghanistan for over-the-hill surveillance — was then disassembled, and shipped to the United States in three different packages.

Press Trust of India, Updated: June 04, 2011 14:22 IST / NDTV.

New Delhi:  Al-Qaeda-linked terrorist Ilyas Kashmiri, a key suspect in the Mumbai attacks, was among nine militants killed in a US drone strike, BBC reported today, quoting residents of South Waziristan tribal region.

The US drones targeted a location 20 km from Wana, one of the main towns in South Waziristan late last night.

A drone fired two missiles at the spot and two more missiles were fired after a short interval, local residents were quoted as saying by BBC Urdu.

Not coincidentally, he was in both US and India's Most Wanted Terrorists.  He has also engineered the recent attack on Pakistani Naval-Airbase, but still it was said that he was under the protection of ISI and was being transported, via South Waziristan, from Afghanistan to a Safe House in Pakistan.
