In place of rockets, militiamen have turned at times to small, fixed-wing drones that fly too low to be picked up by defensive sys- tems, military officials and diplo- mats say. An official with the U.S.- led coalition described the evolv- ing drone threat as the military mission’s biggest concern in Iraq. In April, a drone strike targeted a CIA hangar inside the airport complex in the northern city of Ir- bil, according to officials familiar with the matter. The drone’s flight was tracked to within 10 miles of the site, but its path was then lost as it moved into a civilian flight path, the coalition official said. The drone’s remains were partial- ly recovered, and preliminary MICHAEL DIMESTICO/U.S. Navy analysis suggested it was made in Petty Officer 2nd Class Edmond Nazareno checks a gyro repeater compass while standing watch aboard the amphibious assault ship USS Iran, a coalition official said.
