New Suspicious Package Sent to CNN
A new suspicious package has been sent to CNN. It was intercepted at an Atlanta mail facility. This is the third suspicious package sent to the cable news organization in less than a week. The two sent last week were pipe bombs. The contents of this latest package are not yet known.
CNN President Jeff Zucker in a statement says that since Wednesday all mail addressed to any CNN domestic bureau is being screen at off-site facilities. He added that there is no immediate danger.
