Joint Prioritized Effects List

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Joint Prioritized Effects List or JPEL is a list of wanted persons who are advertised for arrest or killing and which is processed by Task Force 373 . According to the Afghan War Diary , Germany has put 13 people on this list since 2007 . Two were arrested and two were removed for lack of evidence. Another 31 people were added by other allies.

On October 11, 2010, Shirin Agha , a commander of the Taliban , was killed in Kunduz. The German Bundeswehr put the number 3145 on the list.

An execution begins as soon as intercepted telecommunication data contain the phone number of a target person. With additional voice recognition, it was sufficient to trigger further steps that a suspect answered his / her name once in a phone call.

Former NSA and CIA boss Michael V. Hayden and ex-drone pilot Brandon Bryant confirmed that the US military was using connection and location data to kill suspects, despite the fact that the German federal government and the BND repeatedly stressed that the data of the NSA are far too imprecise for killing missions.

The BND was connected to the Center Ice platform with US partners and partners from Italy, Spain, France, Sweden and Norway in Afghanistan to exchange cell phone data and other information about people to be killed. In addition to Taliban leaders, this also included representatives of the middle level and, from 2008, drug traffickers.
