Much. just in to cnn, and as youre watching, thats live pictures of a containment vessel carrying the suspected explosive device, a now familiar scene. we saw the same kind of vehicle pulling away from cnn on wednesday. another package delivered there. we understand that the new york police department is going to brief shortly with what they know at this point. and of course, well bring that to you live. meanwhile, i want to go to shimon prokupecz who has been on this since day one. you look at ...

When he said these are not hoax devices. so in other words in his estimation, they were not intended to be a fake or get everyone fired up about a potential explosive device. hes not calling them a hoax device. hes calling them an actual device. so the fingerprint that we found was on a package that was sent to congresswoman waters, and in addition to that going through my notes here from the press conference he did highlight there may be other packages in transit we have to keep an eye out for....

Is under way moments from now authorities here in new york will provide an update on where they are in this investigation. i know its still early goings. just today we are learning two packages and another one was sent to actor robert de niro. the other targets are the clintons, the obamas, former attorney general eric holder, california congresswoman maxine waters, two packages were addressed to her, liberal balance mayor that particular device was just taken or is en route to quantico, virgini...

I think here the key part too is we have the jttf involved. the hub seems to be new york, but there is 102 jttfs around the country and 4,000 state, local and federal offices assigned to jttfs and theyre able to track down all these leads so there is a ton of resources here being put into this case. this is number one in the country right now, probably internationally, because we are sharing that information back and forth with our partners overseas also. >> so law enforcement will start off, an...

But real quickly, i would have to say and im sure david can clarify for us, it does not take 48 hours for atf or the fbi to know whether or not these devices were intended to go off. you know, very early preliminary examination of them will tell you whether or not things were constructed properly and whether or not this device was in fact supposed to explode. so the government knows but they havent told us yet whether in fact these devices were supposed to explode. youve said it, everybody has a...

Initially determined not to be anthrax. lets start there with family brown. you have new reporting about where these packages may have originat originated. what are you learning. >> thats right and this is key because authorities are still trying to find who is behind this string of package bombs. investigators now believe at least some of the devices, the suspicious packages, at least some of the ten originated in florida. we know some of the she was a return to sender address there. >> now at ...

Through the mail versus deliveredly cour by courier? >> im not going to get specifically into where the packages came from. some were delivered through the postal system. i would reiterate regardless of where people think they originated, if you see something suspicious or you think you may know information, provide that to us at those two tip lines. >> we have a second part of that question. >> to get to the second part of your question, when there was the first device targeting mr. soros, we w...

Device, a suspected explosive device or simply a device? what is the proper terminology? >> suspected explosive device, yes. >> -- the intent is to have them not explode or -- >> im not going to talk about intent. in the back row. >> i understand you dont want to say whether these things are explosive or not, but do you guys know for yourselves whether these are ex-iplosives or hoaxs? >> were treating them as explosives. back row. good try though, thank you. >> are all the devices inside the -- ...

The leads are, im not going to do that, were still in the middle of the investigation. thank you, everybody. thank you for being here. thanks. >> all right, so thats the briefing from new york police, mayor, fbi there, just on the latest, what they know and really more importantly perhaps what they know, but theyre not sharing with the public, understandably so, it is still so early into the investigation into these ten attempted device deliveries around the country, coast to coast. josh campbel...

If this is a one-off, the bomb squad shows up, they want to render something safe. once it turns out this looks like it is perhaps several bombs involved, now you try to piece things together, five devices in tact, transported back to the fbi lab in quantico, where that additional analysis will be under way, they have very good scientists and specialists there who go through, did much more than an x-ray, get in, surgery, and figure out what the makeup of is of the devices. >> what are the first ...
