Pakistani Officials Claims US Drone Crashed in Pakistan

Pakistani military officials are claiming a pilotless drone has crashed inside Pakistan. But US officials denied that the US has lost any drones. Reuters

Pakistani news channels said early Wednesday a U.S.-operated drone had come down near the border village of Angor Adda, where U.S. commandos launched a raid on September 3.

The Pakistani military confirmed that a pilotless aircraft had come down but did not identify it as American. Other countries with forces in Afghanistan have not been known to operate drones over Pakistani territory.

"A surveillance unmanned aerial vehicle while flying over Pak-Afghan border yesterday night crash landed, on this side of the border ... apparently due to malfunctioning," the army said in a statement.[...]

American officials earlier denied that the United States had lost any drones: "No such thing occurred," said one.
