According to the series of letters bombed to prominent critics of US President Donald Trump, there would have been a first arrest, according to the Department of Justice. According to the security community, it is the main suspect. More arrests are possible in this case, said Friday. The arrest took place in a parking lot in Plantation, Florida. Security officials cited the name of the suspect with Cesar Sayoc, born in 1962.
Trump tweeted that the bombing was a pity for his Republican campaign. The convention elections will take place on November 6th. For the afternoon (local time), the Ministry of Justice wanted to inform the public of the state of the investigation.
Twelve packets trapped
The man 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. Until now, twelve letter bombs have been discovered, addressed to prominent critics of US President Donald Trump. 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.
A few days before the election
A few days before the parliamentary elections of November 6, the bombing highlights a country deeply divided politically. Trump had condemned the bombs, but at the same time accused the media of poisoning the climate with false reports. Trump's critics accuse him of inciting hatred. On Friday, the president complained that the letter bomb is distracting from politics and that the campaign of its Republicans is being pulled from its momentum. "Very unfortunate, what's going on," he wrote on Twitter.
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. Until now, no one has been hurt by homemade bombs. Former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was among the recipients.
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. In investigators circles, it was said Thursday, plans for explosives 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 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.
