Caught in the act: New drone kills two insurgents planting IED

BAGHDAD — A new unmanned aerial vehicle has conducted its first successful attack mission for the U.S. Army in Iraq.
The Hunter UAV killed two Iraqi insurgents in a mission in the Nineveh province on Sept. 1.

Officials said the Hunter, manufactured by the state-owned Israel Aerospace Industries, tracked and fired precision munitions that killed the insurgents as they sought to place an improvised explosive device along a major thoroughfare near Qayyarah.
