00:00As I mentioned yesterday, our efforts to positively identify the deceased individual here
00:03has been found. We are fairly confident that that subject is Guy Edward Bartkus,
00:1125-year-old from, again, Palm Springs, I'm sorry, from, again, 29 Palms.
00:18We are working through some other technical means to positively identify the decedent here,
00:25but we believe at this moment, based on the evidence that we've gathered,
00:29that that is Mr. Bartkus as the decedent here.
00:31The subject had nihilistic ideations, and this was a targeted attack against the IDF facility.
00:38Make no mistake, we are treating this, as I said yesterday, as an intentional act of terrorism.
00:43Due to the speed and professionalism of the Palm Springs Fire Department, Station 1,
00:49the Palm Springs Police Department, as well as the FBI bomb technicians,
00:53we are able to save all of the embryos at this facility.
00:57Good guys 1, bad guys 0.
