#1  More info needed. Who's rocket? Is it a "country made" rocket or imported? Is this testing for use by Jihadi in other regions. Are these rockets heading to Isreal/Palestine?

After watching Mythbusters last night this kind of news is sobering. They built several rockets both solid fuel and hybrid. No special tools were required.
