The so-called American letter bomber is apparently a Trump fanatic «DiePresse.com

Yet little is known about this Florida man, who allegedly sent at least 13 homemade bombs to prominent critics of Donald Trump. There are indications, however, that Cesar Altieri Sayoc, arrested on Friday, is a fanatical supporter of the US president. On the accounts of online networks, which seem to come from 56 years, Trump is praised and agitated against his political opponents.

The investigating authorities did not want to comment on the motives of the alleged killer shortly after the arrest. But it was "too early," said Christopher Wray, FBI chief of the federal police. Far-right conspiracy theorists had questioned in recent days that the bomber was a supporter of Trump – although this already suggests the list of recipients of explosive devices.

Instead, they suspected a supposed conspiracy of left-wing fanatics in order to blame the right-wing camp for bombing, and thus the ruling Republicans. next congressional elections to hurt. But these wild speculations do not match the profile of the man now arrested, as shown by the early indications.

Security authorities arrested him Friday in Florida on a parking lot in Plantation, Florida. A total of twelve trapped letters have been found so far – addressed to prominent critics Trumps. Until now, no one has been hurt.

On the suspect's minibus, a CNN photo shows several stickers bearing the portraits of President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence. In addition, a sticker with the words "CNN sucks" can be seen.

Trump: "despicable acts"

President Donald Trump has strongly condemned the acts. "These acts of terrorism are despicable and have no place in our country," Trump said Friday during a performance at the White House in Washington. Never let political violence root in the United States. He stated that the author (s) would be held responsible.

The case of alleged bady-traps had heavily influenced the election campaign in the United States ahead of the next congressional election on November 6th. Trump alluded to the authenticity of the bombs. On Friday, in a tweet, he talked about "the bomb case" that had negatively influenced his election campaign. Indirectly, he shared responsibility for the crimes with the media and their critical reporting.

Governor Cuomo suspects individual authors

According to Andrew Cuomo, governor of New York, the suspect was probably alone. The Democratic politician told MSNBC television that a suspect was arrested near Miami on Friday. "An individual can relatively easily disrupt a society," Cuomo said. And: "I would not be surprised if there were more packages." The investigation had been "very difficult". Postal services should take a closer look at shipments in the future.

The culprit described Cuomo as "symptom, not disease". Political leaders, as well as President Donald Trump, are to blame for the atmosphere in the United States and in the divided society, but also for the Americans themselves.

Twelve packets trapped

The suspect was arrested Friday in Miami. Not long ago, two other suspicious packages had appeared. One of them was addressed to former CIA chief James Clapper. To date, twelve letter bombs have been uncovered – addressed to prominent critics of US President Donald Trump, including former President Barack Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Other opponents of Trump are the recipients of packages intercepted by US authorities, including Trump's critical actor, Robert de Niro, and billionaire and Democratic opposition donor, George Soros. Until now, no one has been hurt.

"It's definitely domestic terrorism," Clapper told CNN. Other packages were addressed to former President Barack Obama, former President Barack Obama, former Vice President Joe Biden, the former female candidate, and former President Barack Obama. Hillary Clinton's presidency and Trump's critical actor, Robert DeNiro. DeNiro thanked God for not hurting anyone. He also urged Americans to vote: "There is something more powerful than bombs, and that's your vote."

According to the federal police, the package for Clapper was sent to CNN and intercepted at a post office in New York. A representative of the municipal police said that a homemade bomb was similar to the previous explosive devices. Earlier, according to the FBI, a package had been found in a Florida distribution center for Democratic Senator Cory Booker.

Florida Packages

Homeland Security Minister Kirstjen Nielsen confirmed to Fox that some packages had been delivered to Florida. A mine clearance team inspected the Opa-locka distribution center near Miami. According to the authorities, the explosives were simply badembled. Security experts said their goal was perhaps to spread fear rather than kill.

Investigators said plans for the construction of explosive devices came from the Internet. Several have the address of the address sender of the Democratic Debbie Wbaderman Schultz office in Florida. Until 2016, she was also president of the Democratic National Committee, the National Organization of Democrats.

"It is still possible that other packages have been sent or sent," said FBI Vice President William Sweeney. At the national level, hundreds of investigators deal with the case.

Searched the post office in Miami

Investigators looked closely at a mail center near Miami on Friday. The FBI badumes that all parcels have pbaded through the US Post at some point. It is also unclear what damage the explosives could have caused during an explosion. The FBI and the police said that it was "obviously homemade bombs". At least one bomb would have been made with a PVC pipe filled with black powder and broken glbad, also connected to a detonator. US media have regularly reported homemade bombs. A last clarification of the authorities, if the shipments were also models, there was none.

"These objects must be considered dangerous," said Sweeney, deputy director of the FBI. However, a white powder contained in a package sent to the CNN news channel did not prove to be a "biohazard" during a first investigation. A spokesman for the United Nations said that at the UN also in New York, incoming mail is now "under investigation" for incidents.

Trump attacks the media

President Trump, who issued a softer tone on Wednesday and called on the Americans to cohere, Thursday gave the liberal media a complicity. They have poisoned the mood of the country, he wrote on Twitter. "Much of the anger we see in our society today is caused by deliberately false and inaccurate coverage in the mainstream media that I call false information."

Critics have been confirmed in their allegations to the president, to promote the division of society with his rhetoric. Especially in view of an impending key date: in the United States, on November 6, congressional elections are held.

The parcels were also distributed Monday to John Brennan, former Attorney General Eric Holder, to Democratic MEP Maxine Waters and billionaire George Soros, who had supported Hillary Clinton and other Democrats by making millions of donations . They belong, as well as Obama and Clinton, to the targets of the political right.
