Spy tool fingers Iraqis for death or capture. QUADSPECTRE takes intercepts of cellular communications (from Stingray-type devices) to see who talks to whom and to read SMS text messages. JSOC (Task Force 145) or other units are then deployed to capture or kill targets. Some 263 suspected insurgents were killed in seven months and a remote-controlled improvised explosive device attack on Coalition forces was thwarted.
