| Iran claims to have recovered data from captured spy drone |
| 2012-04-22 |
| Iran has declared it has "cracked the codes" of the intelligence gathering system of a U.S. spy drone it seized last year for violating its airspace. Tehran boasted about capturing the unmanned aircraft with stealth technology in December and displayed it on national television. Now, months later, an Iranian senior military official said armed forces have extracted data from it to prove a point to the Pentagon, which they said doubted Tehran would be able to decode it. Brig. Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh was quoted as saying, "This plane is seen as a national capital for us and our words should not disclose all the information that we have very easily. Yet, I provide four cues in here to let the Americans know how deep we could penetrate into the intelligence systems and devices of this drone." Hajizadeh said that some data from the drone's memory device showed it had flown over bin Laden's Pakistani hideout two weeks before his death. He added, "Had we not accessed the plane's softwares and hard discs, we wouldn't have been able to achieve these facts." Hajizadeh said Iran has also decoded information such as protocols, repairs and flight sorties. He said that the drone was in California in October 2010 for repairs and was moved to Afghanistan the following month, where it had problems that American experts could not solve. |
