British Intelligence Text Message Taliban

December 15th, 2006 by opioq

The British government has taken on a new strategy of psychological warfare and manipulation on Taliban fighters in Afghanistan. These cell phone text message attacks are being performed by a sector in the Intelligence Corps’ HQ called 15 (UK) Psychological Operations Group located in Chicksands, Beds.

Texts range from simple abuse such as “We know who you are, give up” or “Go home, you’ll never beat us”. Others are disguised as messages from comrades to spread duff information. And attacks on Royal Marine commandos in lawless Helmand province are DOWN in the last month since the mind games began.

The text attacks are carried out by the 15 (UK) Psychological Operations Group, based at the Intelligence Corps’ HQ in Chicksands, Beds.
