Washington, February 13 (RHC)-- In the latest of Snowden’s disclosures, new information has emerged on the National Security Agency’s secret role in U.S. military and CIA assassinations overseas.

The NSA is apparently using complex analysis of electronic surveillance, rather than human intelligence, as the primary method to locate targets for lethal drone strikes.

The NSA identifies targets based on controversial metadata analysis and cell-phone tracking technologies, an unreliable tactic that has resulted in the deaths of innocent or unidentified people.

The disclosure is made in the first article by journalists Jeremy Scahill and Glenn Greenwald for their new journalism venture, First Look Media.
