What is Sudan hiding about the air strike it blamed on Israel?
Haaretz ^ | 6/6/11 | Amos Harel & Avi Issacharoff

Even at the time of the Marine Barracks bombing in Lebanon (1983), the Israelis were already world leaders in operational UAVs. There was a story that they invited one of our generals for a visit to Tel Aviv after he had toured the barracks site.

They showed him a video of himself walking around the barracks site -- with crosshairs on his head -- following him around. Then they said, "That was a laser designator. Anytime during that tour, we could have dropped a LGM in your hip pocket!"

Think that might have been an Israeli equivalent of a Predator in Sudan?
