time to bomb china? -g- -- DJ Chinese-Made Drone Found At Al-Qaida Hideout In Pakistan -- PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP)--An attack by Pakistani forces on a major al-Qaida hideout turned up a Chinese-made drone aircraft designed for use in surveillance, the military said Tuesday. The al-Qaida hideout appeared to be a fairly sophisticated outpost, with communications gear to communicate with militants in Afghanistan, a cache of bombs, detonators and rockets, and even a tiny Chinese-made drone aircraft, the military reported. Pakistan's army destroyed the al-Qaida hideout and arrested 21 suspected militants in a remote northwestern tribal region near Afghanistan, a top military commander said. "It is the biggest-ever operation, which is still going on in North Waziristan," Lt. Gen. Safdar Hussain, the top army commander responsible for anti-terrorism operations in northwestern Pakistan, told a news conference. Hussain said foreigners and "some important men are included among the captured people," although he refused to reveal identities or nationalities. "We dismantled this communication center and seized a large number of CDs and communication equipment," Hussain said. He said troops also arrested a junior government official from North Waziristan and a close relative of Maulana Nek Zaman, a lawmaker from a religious party, on suspicion of helping terrorists.
