You can see it has the excessive postage and the excessive packaging and the unusual or pronounced labelling, this is addressed to john brennan. it also has a returned a dress to debbie wasserman-schultz. that was a returned a dress on at least one other package. the fbi is handling the forensics in this case and they believe theyll get an answer within days if not sooner. lets listen. >> i want to assure you that the reason that were here because the totality of the federal state and local auth...

Attempting to undermine our free press, leaders of this country through acts of violence. >> shepard: the white house calling these terrorizing acts indespicable. who sent them is the next question. we have team fox coverage beginning with catherine herridge live in washington. catherine? >> in the last hour, law enforcement officials told fox news that the devices were sent by a single individual or single group, this is based on forensics as well as the fact that were talking about multiple de...

Them. catherine had a good report of the forensics part, trying to place this in a particular place, in a direction that they have determined that the forensics are showing that one person or group of people are responsible. so now who will happen is, you have to keep in mind the government has a huge apparatus in place to deal with terrorism. in new york, you have florida, all the locations that are relevant the terrorism task force and people going out and looking at leads. you have people try...

Monday at the home of george soros. a billionaire who supports the democratic party. the device, im told, was contained viable explosives. an individual close to the nypd, which is where the state police are investigating the incident, said that the individual or individuals who made that device knew what they were doing. the reason i raise this device that was discovered monday is that my contacts are very focused on the number of devices unfolding or rolling out in a very short period of time....

What it originally seemed to. there is a possibility that the person behind this is a violent, uneducated, pat waring trump supporter. i would point everybody too, not very long ago, there was a wave of threats in jewish community centers. there is instant speculation that the person who did it was motivated by donald trumps rhetoric. there turned out to be two people, one of them was a african-american man who wanted to get back at his ex-girlfrien ex-girlfriend. the other was to a teenager liv...

Bill, whether its a professional or amateur and who the person is because of the forensics, the handling of the package. who started to handle it. the parts used to assembly this explosive device. >> bill: what about that, michael? how long would it take? what is the process? >> given the fact there were a number of packages that were sent in a relatively short period of time. that raises the possibility that you are going to be able to find a nexus between these packages. where they came from a...

Been described to us as a pipe bomb-type device. they have left with that. it has arrived now at the nypd facility, at the tip of a park. if youre watching, thats less than the 30 minute drive from the city. thats where the bomb squad is headquartered. theres too a shooting range there. if they are going to detonate and try to save forensics from that device, it may be where they you choose to do that. anyway, we are waiting. while people might want to shelter in places, they might to want to ma...

Extent. the united states secret service and others are investigating and will take action to protect anyone threatened by these cowards. how quickly do you think that well learn any more? >> the forensics will be expedited by the secret service and the f.b.i. lab no doubt until they determine motivation. i would think within 24 to 48 hours the u.s. authorities will have a pretty good idea where the packages originated from. surveillance videotape much like we saw unfold with the austin bomber. ...

Heard, the thing thats important to remember, too, just because you might have had functional components doesnt necessarily mean that you actually have a device that had a correct firing train. so the motive could have been nothing more than panic to be discovered. look, most people know you cant mail package bombs to a former president without getting caught. so the message may be nothing more than to resonate. but the forensics based on my experience in working the package bomb cases will lead...

Here is the politics. the political ideology pray thats what im driving at. no one has yet seen any of these packages except for conservatives. heres where the concern is. you just dont do these things. >> melissa: no sane person would, sir. >> we have to be careful. when we saw these bomb threats being phoned into the jccs, and ended up being a jewish man calling the men. we have to be very careful about speculating who is behind this until we actually have evidence of a suspect. >> harris: yea...
