“…arguably, SIGINT’s [signals intelligence’s] greatest single success in Iraq occurred on the evening of June 7, 2006, when al Qaeda in Iraq leader [Abu Musab] al-Zarqawi and five others were killed by an air strike conducted by two U.S. Air Force F-16 fighter-bombers on al-Zarqawi’s safe house five miles north of the city of Baquba.”
