Success Against Terrorists along Afghanistan/Pakistan Border

SUMMARY

Intercepts warn of an imminent attack on a coalition base in Afghanistan. SIGINT pods on Predator drones locate and confirm the identity of “at least 12 extremists” subsequently killed by smart bombs. A Hellfire missile launched from a Predator drone kills an additional number, lending to the conclusion that "SIGINT provided actionable information that led to the deaths of at least 35 terrorists".
