SUSPICIOUS PACKAGES: 3 TODAY IN NYC, WASHINGTON DC, AND SUNRISE, FLORIDA; 1 LAST NIGHT IN CHAPPAQUA, AND 1 IN KATONAH, NY MONDAY
At least four suspicious packages have been discovered Wednesday morning October 24, 2018 and late Tuesday night October 23, 2018. The packages were intercepted Wednesday at CNN’s Time Warner Building (10 Columbus Circle) in New York City, at the office of Debbie Wasserman Schultz, and at the homes of the Clinton’s in Chappaqua (late Tuesday night), and the Obama’s in Washington D.C. (time frame developing) . The explosive device sent to CNN’s New York offices was addressed to former CIA Director John Brennan, who is a former official of the Obama administration and frequent CNN guest and Trump critic. Brennan’s security clearance was revoked during the summer of 2018. The CNN broadcast from NYC was interrupted and switched to Washington D.C. as the CNN facilities were evacuated.
Early unconfirmed reports from multiple media sources say that a law enforcement source reports that the device found in the 10 Columbus Circle mailroom at CNN’s Time Warner building is similar to the devices found in suspicious packages addressed to Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and George Soros (on Monday). The initial examination of all of the devices shows that they were constructed similarly. At least one of the devices appeared to contain projectiles, including shards of glass. The devices discovered were said to be rudimentary but functional.

Investigators are working to determine whether the devices addressed to the Clinton home and the Obama home are linked to a pipe bomb found earlier this week in the home mailbox of billionaire George Soros. Bill and Hillary Clinton live in Chappaqua, New York near George Soros, who live in Katonah, New York.
The pipe bomb was about 6 inches long, contained in an 8-by-10-inch envelope, and made to appear as though it was delivered through the mail, the source said. A USPS postal inspector examined the markings on the envelope, and determined the potentially package had been hand-delivered. The Soros pipe bomb package was discovered by a property caretaker about 3:45 p.m. Monday, October 22, 2018.
