Journalists interview an Arab terrorist, a US agency takes advantage

Release date: No info. (asked)


Genre: No info. (asked)


Country of origin: I guess the US.


The journalists (a man and a woman) travel to an Arabic country.
The US agency hides a tracker in a pencil battery and they smuggle it into the gear of the journalists.
The interview takes place in a cave.
The terrorist leader hates the US but someone mentions/notices that he’s wearing an American made wristwatch.
Once the journalists leave, the US launches rockets, targeted at the cave and the terrorists die.

I feel like I have seen an episode of NCIS similar to this.

Here is the next question. What year did the questioner see this? Because we know the release date must have been before the questioner saw it.
The trope of the US government hunting for Arab terrorist living in a cave really wasn't found before 9/11, so that for example also helps us narrow it down. Everyone was surprised when it turned out Bin Laden was hiding in a nice home in a nice neighborhood.

Their guess is, between 1990 and 2010.
And they didn't watch NCIS.

alias? criminal minds? is it crime genre?

Thanks to everyone who looked into it, it was War Stories (2003).
