Hi and welcome to Sabirism's malicious life. I'm Ren Levin. Renleve. December 2nd, 2015 was not a good day in California.

Saeedri's one folk and Taspin Malik, a married couple who lived in the town of Redlands,

went on a killing spree.

They targeted a training event at the San Bernardino County

Public Health Department and a Christmas party of about 18 workers held in a rented ballroom. The mass shooting cast the lives of 14 innocent people

and another 22 were seriously injured. Both perpetrators were killed too.

Shortly after the attack, police use robots to search the terrorist's home.

It turned out that the couple build themselves a bona fide weapons

depot. The police uncovered large amounts of ammunition and various tools for building improvised explosive devices.

On December 3rd, a day after the attack, the FBI took charge of the case,

which was officially designated as an anti-terrorism investigation.

The FBI agents conducted 400 interviews and collected some 320 testimonies. In particular, the investigation focused on a small time

window shortly before the murders, 18 minutes between 1259 p. to 1.17 PM.

The investigators suspected that during their time, the two terrorists drove around

San Bernardino trying to remotely activate the explosives they had left behind, or maybe were in contact with a co-conspirator.

Searching for clues, the investigators discovered one crucial piece of evidence, a mobile phone, an iPhone C-5 device belonging to Faruk, found at their home. The phone had the potential to shed some light on the terrorist actions during these missing 18 minutes, but there was a problem. The device was locked with a four-digit

password and as with all iPhones after 10 failed attempts to get in, the

device was programmed to delete all the information it carried.

A nightmare for the FBI officially gave up

and announced that it failed to break into Farruk's iPhone.

They tried getting help from the NSA, but to no avail.

Senior US security experts have also failed in assisting the investigation.
