Intel Focus delivers clarity in an age of digital chaos.
The Intelligence Spotlight Series
The Intelligence Spotlight series offers a front-row seat to the world of OSINT, geopolitics, and digital investigations. Each episode features in-depth conversations with leading investigators, journalists, academics, and experts as they unpack their latest work, explore the use of open-source tools, and break down complex topics.
Whether you're in the field or simply curious about how modern investigations unfold, this series brings you closer to the challenges, breakthroughs, and evolving landscape of intelligence, media verification, and fact-checking.
The report provides an in-depth geospatial and open-source analysis of multiple high-security compounds in Kandahar, believed to be linked to the Taliban’s Supreme Leader, Hibatullah Akhundzada. Using satellite imagery, open-source data, and verification techniques, the investigation identifies patterns of movement, fortified structures, and the leadership’s security apparatus in southern Afghanistan.
