Almost 25-million dollars are going towards projects in East Kentucky. The projects were announced yesterday by Gov. Andy Beshear and U.S. Rep. Hal Ro...
james, let me start with you, the putenshthral are more pack nls out there. >> sure. across the country there are 250 mail sorting facilities. so they go to a regional sorting facility. there's a number of them in manhattan. i think another daw or so. i think there's an all hands on deck to check and make sure nothing was missed. we owe great kudos for law enforcement. the unibomber case, 17 years. eveern this past march the serial bomber took 18 days. they did this in a matter of a couple of days. yes, the forensic part of this. police science has come a long way since we started moving in this direction. but law enforcement did an
outstanding job. most importantly was anyone else providing material support on before or after the fact? >> and we know he stopped cooperating with authorities. he's not talking to them anymore. so what is in this truck may be some of the most definitive information they're going to get. >> investigators in this type f situation are combing through everything. it's not just the van, although that's a big part of this. are there anybody else that mouth be involved in this? this is an ongoing laupger investigation and they're going to talk their time with this. it's going to be a while. >> a lot of the activity is in florida because that's where they believe this sorting facility they went through shs that's where it is. what's happening here in new
addressed to senator corey booker's camden office in new jersey. there is a police presence there. they are doing a sweep of the building to make sure there is nothing else there. there is no indication yet there is something dangerous there, there is another package there. but this is what we see that they do when they discover a package that has been addressed and that is intercepted on the way. in this case, i am told by sources that this package was intercepted in florida at that facility, the sorting facility, processing facility that the postal service operating there just north of miami. i think the fact that they were able to isolate or at least find a nexus or commonality to this facility which collects mail from a certain part of the miami area really is a huge break-through in this
clapper. he is a contributor. like you say, all the hallmarks of these other packages we have seen. the six american flag stamps, the return address stamps, the yellow package with the bubble wrap inside. the next step, they will be in there. i'm sure they already made an assessment what's inside. is it identical. >> i wanted to tell your viewers some new information that we have. all mail that is destined for cnn as this package this morning was, is now being screened first at an off site location. it is not coming into our mail room. it is being screened first. it was screened there first. >> here is the thing that i want to know. we want to know when did they receive this, when did this sorting facility receive this? why this is important is so the
did. at some point, the fbi will take custody of it and it will make its way to quantico, virginia. here's another piece of evidence in this entire investigation, which i'm telling you, jim, is growing. and law enforcement feels pretty confident about where things stand. and i think having all this evidence is going to prove very helpful to investigators. >> okay. again, that is significant, shimon. obviously, you're, you know, there's only so much you know from your sources and you can share, but that is significant because it's a very different tone than we heard yesterday in terms of really they had no leads and they feel more confident now. >> the sorting facility, it seems, has changed a lot. that's the sorting facility in florida. having -- now that they know where -- or at least where they think the packages originated from some of them in the florida area, has changed the game for them. whether or not they're closer or
fbi. i'm told that the fbi is in the midtown site now. this is where the sorting facility, this postal facility, it's where they sort mail here in midtown. it would make sense that some of that mail would come here. it is six blocks south from us. that would make sense. the bomb squad is in there. they have evacuated a school, which is next door to this sorting facility, and they have also ordered people to stay inside. significance here, obviously, because of the intended target here and scenes like the fact that we -- these other packages have been out there. people know what to look for. what's what happened in this case. >> what is striking to me, and i know to jim as well, is the fact that still 12 of these, and we have no suspect. and you were telling me president even your sources aren't even telling you on background they have whiffs of someone.
packages now. >> we can say there has been significant progress in the investigation. it's clear from what we know based on the presence in this sorting facility in florida, investigators are focussed on that area, focussed on the south florida area and they made prosome progress. but i can tell you in talking to folks, certainly throughout today already this morning and then even last night there was optimism in terms of where this investigation was heading and that investigators were feeling pretty good about what they know. they're not there yet. they are not at a point where they could release anything publically. >> i understand you are getting new reporting about package number 11 discovered in florida addressed to corey booker. >> that's right. that's a package that was
to be delivered to former director of national intelligence, james clapper, delivered to him here at cnn. it was stopped, however, six blocks away at the postal sorting facility. but again this looks really exactly the same except for the intended recipient, jim, than the other ones. of course, it is not believed that it came from there. again, six postage stamps and from first glance here, it does not appear to have a postmark, which is part of what has really confused authorities at this point in time. let's go down to 52nd street close to where we are. mark, we saw the total containment vessel that will take this away up to the bronx to be looked at, possibility detonated right there with the other vehicles. we see it pulling up here. what else can you tell us from
