Police intercept suspicious package addressed to former US vice president Joe Biden
Police said today that they have intercepted a suspicious package addressed to former US vice president Joe Biden.
The package is similar to pipe bombs sent to several prominent Democrats, a restaurant belonging to actor Robert de Niro and news studio CNN.
Bomb squads are dealing with the package in a Delaware postal centre, NBC News reported.
The news came after a suspicious package at Robert de Niro’s New York restaurant was called in to police this morning.
A building worker called police saying the package had been in the restaurant for a few days.
The latest discovery means police have now found nine suspected bombs in California, Florida, New York and elsewhere.
Targets have included former presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, 2016 presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, and Obama-era attorney general Eric Holder.
A very big part of the Anger we see today in our society is caused by the purposely false and inaccurate reporting of the Mainstream Media that I refer to as Fake News. It has gotten so bad and hateful that it is beyond description. Mainstream Media must clean up its act, FAST!
