US surveillance drone crashes in Pakistan: officialsAFP
QUETTA: An American surveillance drone crashed in southwestern Pakistan on Thursday near a paramilitary base close to the Afghan border, Pakistani officials said.
“It was an American surveillance unmanned aerial vehicle. It crashed on this side of the border,” a security official in the area told AFP.
He said the drone had come down — apparently due to a technical fault — some two kilometres inside Pakistani territory in Chaman town in insurgency-hit Baluchistan province, but had caused no damage.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the wreckage of the aircraft had been recovered.
An official from Pakistan’s paramilitary Frontier Corps in Quetta, the province’s main town, confirmed the incident.
“Some spare parts and a camera were also found with it,” that official said. “It crashed near a Frontier Corps fort in Chaman but caused no damage.”
Such crashes of US aircraft are rare in Pakistan but one of the country’s own surveillance drones crashed in the city of Karachi in July after hitting a bird on a routine flight.

Shukriya Mirza G for the update, but our dear countrymen in the Military have no intention of shooting down an American Drone.
Till date it remains our wish; News that Pak army has shot down intruding drones. When will this happen? Afghans have managed to shoot them down. Iran too claimed a couple they shot intruding into their airspace. Why PAF boasts it is capable to shoot drones but doing nothing at all?

When we have brown sahebs that are completely sold out in the Civilian/Military establishments it's not a case of capability but rather the intention. When the US say our establishment is on board, you know exactly what they mean, they have people like Zardari and Kiyani on baord 100%.
