| 2008-10-05 |
| Tribesmen in the Mir Ali sub-division of North Waziristan Agency fired rockets at two drones that crossed into Pakistan on Saturday, locals said. The two drones entered Pakistani airspace from the Afghan side in Mir Ali sub-division, located 23 kilometres east of Miranshah, locals said. The spy planes returned as locals fired rockets at them. However, no casualty was reported. |

| #6 Who knew they had sub-divisions in North Waziristan? Maybe I'll buy me a nice split-level or a rancher there someday. |

| #5 Estes rockets; an old family favorite. My brother Dave used to modify the rockets with cherry bomb / M-80 warheads. Good stuff! |

| #3 The drones were trolling for tribesman. Nothing to see here, move along [if you value your life]. |

| #2 Rockets? Is their media as bad as ours? Details - bottle rockets, V-2s, Soviet ICBMs, RPGs? The mind reels. |

| #1 should encourage this behavior since it makes targeting that much easier |
