Arrest Made In Plantation In Connection To Package Bombs
See also this posted below, and the original Day 3 post summarizing the situation as of last night.
[Miami.CBSLocal] Federal authorities have arrested a man in Plantation in connection to a series of package bombs that have been sent to top Democrats and President Trump critics, according to CBS News.

The man was taken into custody at an auto parts store on State Road 7 at SW 6th Street around 10:30 a.m. A "loud explosion" was heard at the time of the arrest, possibly from a flash bang device used by FBI in the course of making the arrest.

A law enforcement source told CBS4 the man is 56-years-old and they were led to him through DNA evidence.

The man is reportedly from Aventura, according to CBS4 news partner The Miami Herald.

The FBI also wrapped a blue tarp over the top of a white van in the parking lot, to preserve any evidence, before it was put on a flatbed truck and taken to an FBI facility.

Friday morning, the existence of two more package bombs were revealed by authorities.

The 11th suspicious package has been found at an Opa-locka mail facility, it was addressed to New Jersey Senator Cory Booker.

It was discovered Thursday night and it is similar in appearance to the others that were sent to prominent Democrats and critics of President Donald Trump.

In New York Friday morning, police responded to a suspicious package at a postal facility in midtown Manhattan. The package was similar to the others and was addressed to former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper at the Time Warner Center where CNN has its New York bureau.

On Thursday, the FBI and the Miami-Dade Police Department bomb squad spent hours at a United States Postal Service mailing distribution center in Opa-locka.

CBS News confirmed several packages may have originated at the facility. Postal inspectors have been poring through millions of pieces of mail, searching for similar packages.

The FBI stated every single suspicious package has the name and address of Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Shultz’s Sunrise office. All of the parcels were sent in similar packaging and the devices were made to appear like active bombs. Investigators are working to determine whether the bombs were just poorly designed or if they were simply meant to scare the recipients.

Besides the FBI analyzing the devices in Virginia, CBS News reports investigators are looking through surveillance video from the Opa-locka facility, especially video from cameras in the self-mailing area.

The FBI is also looking for video at neighboring businesses.

Friday’s development comes one day after three additional packages ‐ the 8th, 9th and 10th in the series ‐ were found addressed to Robert De Niro and Joe Biden.
And now we play "Name the Party".

#1 How stupid is this guy if the FBI could arrest him less than two days after the bombs are delivered?

#4 Did you see the damn van he had? Absolutely nuts, his windows look like conspiracy boards with pro-trump to anti-hillary imagery. Prior arrests in New York, 56 year old Cesar Sayok.

Seems like we attributed to maliciousness what was plain out crazy. Kind of like a Reverse SJW?
