Just heard a passing mention of it on Geo news, any one else have more on it please post here. Or we will wait for the details to come out. No mention of how it came down.
 
PESHAWAR: A suspected US unmanned drone reportedly crashed in the Kaza Panga area of South Waziristan late on Thursday, intelligence sources said.

Moreover, according to local tribesmen, a drone was heard buzzing in the skies when it crashed with a loud bang followed by silence. Local intelligence sources confirmed a drone had crashed in the area and that its parts were being retrieved.

The local political administration and government officials declined comment on the incident.

Further details were not available until the filing of this report.

South Waziristan is among Pakistan’s seven tribal districts near the Afghan border which are rife with homegrown insurgents and are alleged to be strongholds of Taliban and Al Qaeda operatives.

The tribal region was once the main stronghold for the Pakistani Taliban. The military launched a large offensive against militants there in 2009, but insurgents still operate in the area and periodically stage attacks.

KARACHI, Pakistan, Nov. 19 (UPI) --
Pakistan has displayed indigenous
unmanned aerial vehicles at the
International Defense Exhibition in
Karachi.
Pakistani Federal Minister for Defense
Syed Naveed Qamar said at the
exhibition that Pakistan UAV technology
is at an early stage and the aircraft have
been used only for air surveillance.
He said the UAVs don't have the
capacity to carry armaments.
China has offered to sell Pakistan armed
UAVs that it has developed but the
Pakistani military remains uncertain as
to their actual capabilities, Dawn
newspaper reported.
Pakistan has demanded that the United
States provide it with armed UAVs,
claiming that Islamabad could more
effectively carry out attacks against
militants, which up to now, have been
undertaken by UAVs flown by the CIA.
Washington has reportedly balked at
the request because of concerns about
the sensitive nature of the technology
and doubts that Pakistan would reliably
target U.S. enemies.
