WASHINGTON [MENL] -- The U.S. military has determined that Iran was
intercepting data relayed by American unmanned aerial vehicles.
Officials said Iran has acquired or developed systems that could hack
the software on advanced U.S. UAVs, including the Predator. They said
Iranian operatives used off-the-shelf software to intercept Predator UAV
feeds, which allowed Teheran to monitor U.S. intelligence, surveillance and
reconnaissance operations.
