Several packages containing pipe bombs packed with shards of glass have been intercepted in the last few days<\/b>
\nWASHINGTON \u2014 A law enforcement official says a package addressed to former vice-president Joe Biden appears similar to packages containing bombs sent to prominent Democrats and has been intercepted at a Delaware mail facility.
The official wasn\u2019t authorized to discuss an ongoing investigation publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on Thursday on the condition of anonymity.
The FBI confirms there is law enforcement activity at the U. S. mail facility in New Castle, Delaware. It says federal agents and New Castle County Police are responding to the facility.
Several packages containing pipe bombs packed with shards of glass have been intercepted in the last few days. They targeted Hillary Clinton, former President Barack Obama, CNN and others.
Earlier Thursday, a New York City police bomb squad recovered a suspicious package addressed to Robert DeNiro, and investigators say it may contain a device similar to others sent to Democratic figures.
Security personnel at Tribeca Productions summoned police at around 5 a.m. on Thursday.
The bomb squad removed the package and took it to a police facility in the Bronx at around 6:30 a.m.
Investigators say it appears to be from the same sender. None of the bombs detonated, and nobody was hurt.
President Donald Trump has claimed much of the \u201cAnger\u201d in society is \u201ccaused by the purposely false and inaccurate reporting of the Mainstream Media.\u201d
Trump\u2019s tweet Thursday came as law enforcement was investigating pipe bombs and other suspicious packages addressed to prominent Democrats including Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton and to CNN.
Without referring specifically to the rash of explosive devices, Trump said: \u201cA very big part of the Anger we see today in our society is caused by the purposely false and inaccurate reporting of the Mainstream Media that I refer to as Fake News.\u201d Trump frequently labels stories he doesn\u2019t like as \u201cfake news.\u201d
The president says what he calls \u201cfake news\u201d has gotten bad and the mainstream media must \u201cclean up its act, FAST.\u201d
An explosive sent to CNN prompted the evacuation of the Time Warner Center in New York, but no one was hurt.<\/p>\n
