Explosive devices sent to politicians, CNN mailed through Opa-locka, reports say

The explosive devices sent to several politicians and broadcast networks this week were reportedly mailed through a South Florida mail facility.

Two suspicious packages addressed to former Vice President Joe Biden have been intercepted at a Delaware mail facility, and they were reportedly similar to the packages sent to other leading Democrats. The FBI linked the packages to those sent to Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and Robert De Niro. Authorities confirmed law enforcement activity at the U.S. mail facility in New Castle. So far, none of the letter bombs have detonated and nobody has been hurt. If found to contain explosives, the Biden packages would be the ninth and 10th letter bombs sent to opponents of President Trump.

Federal authorities investigating the pipe bombs that were sent to prominent Trump critics this week have focused their search on southern Florida, according to a report. Two people briefed on the matter told The New York Times on Thursday that investigators believe a number of the explosive devices were mailed from the area. A total of 10 devices have been found across the country, including those sent to former President Barack Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Wednesday and packages sent to actor Robert De Niro and former Vice President Joe Biden on Thursday. An analysis of information collected by the United States Postal Service indicated that many of the packages were mailed from Florida.
