Taliban fighters in Afghanistan are being bombarded by a devastating new British weapon, the text message.
Intelligence chiefs find out the numbers of the enemy’s mobile phones then send them waves of messages to confuse them and destroy morale.
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.
The text attacks are carried out by the 15 (UK) Psychological Operations Group, based at the Intelligence Corps’ HQ in Chicksands,Beds.

Interesting! Years ago the flyers and today sms. But if they know the mob nrs, they also know where they are geographically, so they should know where to shoot. . .

They could proberbly locate each one from there numbers, but with 100,000's of Taliban i don't think it would be practicle to go after each and every one of them!
This is just Phscological warfare to break enemy moral.

to be honest, I'm surprised they haven't figured out that the will of an army man is weaker than the will of a person who believes in his cause.

Maybe the Armed forces/Intelligent services have they own operators!
Posted by goldenface
Quite possible. I would imagine they have their own secure network using their own frequency.
