#2 The article mentions a $1 million check, plus other checks and a multitude of virgin credit cards. Also a number of IDs. Doesn't sound like the deceased Lafi Nofal and the injured Amjad J. Husein were exactly model citizens.

#4 What's a "financial instrument"?

It's usually used to mean stocks, bonds or similar. It could be a bearer bond. A bond that can be cashed without proof of ownership.
