A suspicious package addressed to
Joe Biden, former vice-president of the US, was found at a postal facility in
Delaware on Thursday morning.
The package found at the Hares
Corner postal facility, and reported to police around 5:50am, is similar to
others sent to prominent national Democrats in recent days.
Investigators from the FBI, US
Postal Inspection Service, Delaware State Police and New Castle County police
stormed the United States Postal Service facility along Quigley Boulevard in
New Castle, Delaware after the explosive was intercepted.
The bomb squad deployed a robot
as they investigated.
Wilmington Police also closed
Chestnut Street from DuPont to Broom streets behind the Lancaster Avenue post
office in Wilmington as they investigated the suspicious package.
The new developments in Delaware
came as a device was removed from a lower Manhattan property belonging to actor
and Trump critic Robert De Niro.
Others were mailed to offices and
homes of prominent Democrats and public figures, including one sent to CNN
offices in New York City.
Packages addressed to Hillary
Clinton, former President Barack Obama, billionaire George Soros, ex-Attorney
General Eric Holder, former CIA director John Brennan and Maxine Waters of
California — who was sent two — all appear to have the same characteristics.
None of the devices detonated and
no one was injured, and authorities are examining the crude explosives and
staying on the lookout for additional packages.
The search for whoever built the
possible explosive devices continues.
The Delaware response came the
morning after a suspicious package was found near the Montgomery County,
Pennsylvania, office of Tom Murt, Republican state representative.
A bomb disposal unit was called
in and the package was determined to not be explosive.
