“Al-Qaeda’s leaders have set up cells of engineers to try to shoot down, disable or hijack US drones, The Washington Post reported late Tuesday citing top-secret US intelligence documents.  The Al-Qaeda leadership is ‘hoping to exploit the technological vulnerabilities of a weapons system that has inflicted huge losses against the terrorist network,’ the Post said online.  The Al-Qaeda commanders are keen to achieve ‘a technological breakthrough (that) could curb the US drone campaign, which has killed an estimated 3,000 people over the past decade,’ the Post reported.  [Drone strikes] have taken a toll among civilians in those countries, something that has fueled anti-US sentiment.”
