#1 Basically anyone can receive data transmitted from a satellite, but you need the crypto-keys to make sense of the data, which makes the keys very valuable.

The beating of the child, described as 'severe', makes me think they were trying to get information out of Al Hilli.

#5 one small detail that's been hard to figure out - how did the hit men get the victim's vehicle to stop? It was parked in a pullover area, and apparently everyone was killed at that location. at least two dozen shots were fired with silenced pistols - maybe 22 caliber (a guess).

One possibility is that the victim had pre-arranged to stop at that spot. maybe the meeting was set up ahead of time. it's possible he thought he was meeting a contact to drop off a payment or information. instead - he was set up to be killed. the point is that the hit men may have been expecting him to come alone, and were not expecting the whole family. once the incident went down - they proceeded and killed all the adults. it's just one possiblity, but the police will have to look at it.
