NSA generated foreign signals intelligence to help find, and ultimately eliminate, the terrorist leader.
In the lead episode of No Such Podcast, learn how NSA helped find bin Laden through foreign signals intelligence (SIGINT), one of the Agency’s two core missions. NSA leaders demystify the foreign SIGINT cycle and how each step applied to the Osama bin Laden case. Learn from a counterterrorism expert who was in the room when the word came in that Osama bin Laden was Killed In Action.
NSA’s foreign signals intelligence has informed United States policymakers for over seven decades. Learn more at NSA.gov. Find the show transcript and other episodes at NSA.gov/podcast. Discover job opportunities at NSA.gov/careers.
