The United States plans to deploy unmanned planes, or drones, into the skies
over the border between Arizona and Mexico to guard against potential
terrorist activities and clamp down on illegal border crossings, a top US

The drones will be flown remotely above the border under the ABC (Arizona
Border Control) program in a bid to beef up border security, explained Asa

Department of Homeland Security.

"This landmark program supports the priority mission of Homeland Security

the Balkans
