 Curious - terror related?

 And, on another topic I read of US ships dealing with 'ballistic missile' attacks.

Call me cynical but I rather doubt these are anti-ship ballistic missiles of the sort China has been building to eliminate our carriers.  Such devices are either guided in the terminal phase or carry a sizable nuclear warhead (most likely both).  If the camel riders are using things taking an arcing trajectory they most likely are 'rockets' (meaning unguided) rather than than 'missiles' (guided).  Which also means the odds of such actually hitting a moving ship is close to zero - and wasting a million dollar SM3 missile to intercept is, well, a waste.
