"It was always a dream to build one, after having built helicopters in my bedroom for a while. I mostly like flying for fun, seeing whether I can get the device to auto-stabilise. As opposed to a plane or helicopter, you don't need a lot of knowledge to control them. They fly themselves. Something like this – you can put in a backpack and carry it with you."

Police said he was approached by three captors on 18 April. One flashed what ... |

| Remarks of President Barack Obama, as prepared for delivery and entitled: The Future of our Fight against Terrorism
