Nobody has said it yet, but it seems that GPS coordinates are given away here, and not just for the call’s recipients. I am not sure exactly what they think this accomplishes, other than identifying their locations and devastating a loved one.
Cruel bastards need to be GPS’ed permanently. With their own help.
I'm guessing that this tactic may end up helping us (and our British Friends) far more than them. From the article:
Intelligence analysts have tracked the hate calls to numbers in Pakistan, a hotbed for Islamic extremism and the Taliban’s prime recruiting ground.
Who knows how much additional information is able to be gathered when a call comes in to a British phone exchange from Pakistan? There is probably a whole lot that is not being disclosed here, and it's not the sort of thing that will benefit the Taliban.
