[MilCom] UN INTERCEPTS

[Steve Douglass]

Last night on the ABC Nightly News they showed a cache of Iraqi 
Intelligence Agency documents found hidden away in an abandoned 
stairwell of an apartment complex detailing the interception and 
eavesdropping done  on UN weapons inspectors radios. There were 
hundreds of logs and transcripts  listing what was being overheard 
and what frequencies the UN Inspectors were operating on. Frequencies 
listed were in the 410 to 418 MHz range.

What I found interesting is that it seemed from the relative ease the 
Iraqis had in listening in on the UN inspectors that no frequency 
hopping or encryption was being used. A translator read some excerpts 
from the detailed intercepts and they showed a list of what was said 
on what frequency so it was pretty clear the interceptions were made 
in the clear in standard simplex and duplex frequency modes.

There was also a document detailing cell-phone interceptions. No 
wonder the Iraqis had no problem out-witting the inspectors!

I wonder what they use to listen in with? Bearcats? Winradios?  Tin cans?
