FBI asks Apple for help unlocking iPhones of Saudi gunman who killed three sailors at Pensacola naval base

 

FBI sent letter to Apple on Monday requesting help accessing gunman's iPhones

Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani killed three sailors at NAS Pensacola last month

iPhones are encrypted with a key that Apple does not have access to

 

The FBI has asked Apple for assistance unlocking two iPhones that belonged to the Saudi gunman who killed three U.S. sailors at Naval Air Station Pensacola last month. A letter from FBI General Counsel Dana Boente to Apple on Monday said that the agency has been unable to access the phones owned by Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani, NBC News reported.

 

'Investigators are actively engaging in efforts to 'guess' the relevant passcodes but so far have been unsuccessful,' the letter said. Apple's encryption software is written so that the company itself is unable to access locked iPhones without the passcode in most cases, and the company has clashed with the FBI in previous high-profile cases. Apple on Monday said the company had been working with the government.

 

'We have the greatest respect for law enforcement and have always worked cooperatively to help in their investigations,' Apple said in a statement. 'When the FBI requested information from us relating to this case a month ago, we gave them all of the data in our possession and we will continue to support them with the data we have available.'

 

Alshamrani was killed by a sheriff's deputy during the attack on December 6. Complicating matters for investigators, he apparently fired a round from his Glock 9mm into one of his phones before he was taken down. The gun was legally purchased using a loophole that allows foreign nationals to purchase guns for hunting. The FBI most famously clashed with Apple over iPhone encryption in the case of the 2016 San Bernadino shooting. The FBI sought and obtained a court order demanding that Apple write software that would crack into the shooter Syed Farook's phone. Then at the last minute, the bureau announced that it had cracked into the phone with the help of an unnamed third party vendor. In that case, the iPhone was found only to contain mundane work information, and nothing related to the shooting.

 

In the letter on Monday, the FBI said its agents have sought help from other federal agencies, as well as from experts in foreign countries and 'familiar contacts in the third-party vendor community.' That is possibly a reference to the undisclosed company that helped crack the San Bernadino shooter's phone.

Hmm, so is this because FBI never really cracked the code for San Bernadino, phones? Was made up then?

Terrorists In Iraq Fearing U.S. Capabilities Are Fleeing and Hiding After Soleimani Killing https://saraacarter.com/terrorists-in-iraq-fearing-u-s-capabilities-are-fleeing-and-hiding-after-soleimani-killing/?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=social-pug … via @SaraCarterDC

Terrorists In Iraq Fearing U.S. Targeting: Are Fleeing and Hiding After Soleimani Killing

 

U.S. officials have intercepted chatter and received confirmation that terrorist leaders in Iraq have been fleeing the region and have gone into hiding fearing United States intelligence capabilities after the successful airstrike that killed Iranian Quds Force leader Qassem Soleimani, according to multiple sources that spoke to SaraACarter.com. Soleimani, the leader of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard’s Quds Force, was killed early Friday morning as he stepped off his plane and headed to the SUV at the Baghdad Airport in Iraq. The U.S. developed extraordinary actionable intelligence to target the most wanted terrorist in the world and it was a ‘precision strike’ that caught the Iranian government off guard, said a White House official, who spoke on background due to the sensitive nature of their work.

 

For the past two decades, U.S. and Western intelligence officials have worked to monitor Soleimani’s movements, as well as his planned attacks on overseas assets, U.S. troops and civilians. He was a designated terrorist by the United States but previous administrations, including both Obama and the Bush administrations, stayed clear of targeting him directly fearing possible retaliation from Iran or escalation of war. For twenty years Soleimani operated with impunity directing Iran’s financial purse to terrorist proxies around the world, while also planning Iranian military strategy in the region. His death was an extraordinary blow to the Iranian regime.

 

During the Obama administration he was frequently reported to be traveling throughout the Iraqi region despite sanctions limiting his travel and was working closely with Iranian allies in the Iraq government, said a U.S. official, who works in the region. Under President Donald Trump the tables have turned. It was apparent that the president was ready to take the action necessary when U.S. intelligence officials informed him that Soleimani was in the planning stages of a strategic attack targeting Americans that was expected to come within days, said a White House official, with knowledge of the airstrike. Trump’s decisive decision to act on the intelligence he was given and to target Soleimani saved countless American lives, the official added. The White House official added that shortly after the airstrike that killed Soleimani information began to surface that other terrorist leaders in the region were ‘fleeing,’ and others had gone into hiding. And on Wednesday, as Trump addressed the nation, woven into his words was the warning to terrorists in the region that Soleimani was only one of many terror leaders U.S. officials are monitoring in effort to prevent attacks on U.S. assets, the homeland and Americans overseas.

I know that's what the narrative was but.. this statement has always bugged me..

 

"the iPhone was found only to contain mundane work information, and nothing related to the shooting."

 

In addition..given who was in charge at that particular time..tending to think that phone was never opened..they never really mentioned what the "mundane topics" where related to.

Don't let the walls build around you anon, yes we are part of something that is much bigger than ourselves, and the world. Your friends and family will need your help and guidance in the coming months as you are aware of what they are not..no need to be forceful with what you know just subtle drops off information, only not coded as Q was. If you felt that you may have hurt someone unnecessarily, heart felt apologies go a long way to heal them and you, remember though forgiving might not be immediate. Then there is this…They may be missing you as much as you are missing them.

>also most definitely the human connection i lost along the way.

 

This place..really has the ability to teach a lot about the human component. Perhaps now with a different pair of glasses.. its easier to listen for the clues that those around you are starting to recognize things..doesn't have to be big. But when you hear it for the first time out of someone you never thought would get it..Its a big deal, and helps you to understand and appreciate more of what the world has lived through for so long.
