Explosive devices addressed to Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama were intercepted, and the Time Warner Center that is home to CNN in New York City was evacuated after a suspicious package was sent there, officials said Wednesday morning.
Preliminary reports are that all three devices are of similar construction and design.
“New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo also said Wednesday that a suspicious package was sent to his Manhattan office.
And, police in Sunrise, Florida, meanwhile tweeted Wednesday that they were investigating a suspicious package at a building where Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schulz, a former Democratic National Committee chairperson, has an office. The building was evacuated, police said.
The spate of suspicious devices began Monday afternoon of a pipe bomb in the home mailbox of billionaire philanthropist George Soros in suburban New York.
The next day, late on Tuesday, another explosive device that was addressed to Hillary Clinton was intercepted before it reached her home in a town near where Soros lives.”
Indiana Congressman Jim Banks joined WIBC host Tony Katz Wednesday to offer comments and perspective in the wake of the news:
Congressman Banks:
“This is a scary, developing story. At this point, still very unclear as it is unfolding. The number of incidents are continuing to add up as the day goes on, and it’s just a good reminder for me and to all of us that we have to be so very careful in our daily lives and watch out for dangerous incidents like this. Now it appears that all the potential targets today were on the left, but it doesn’t really matter. Attack like this on the left or the right are an attack on all public servants, and we need to make sure that the culprits behind these attacks are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”
