Did. at some point, the fbi will take custody of it and it will make its way to quantico, virginia. heres another piece of evidence in this entire investigation, which im 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, youre, you know, theres only so much you know from your sources and you can share, but t...

Fbi. im told that the fbi is in the midtown site now. this is where the sorting facility, this postal facility, its 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 l...

Packages now. >> we can say there has been significant progress in the investigation. its 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 pr...

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...

Was responsible for this, or at least that was their suspicion last night, the authorities. they have been doing a lot of work in florida the last 24 hours. certainly once they discovered the sorting facility where some of these packages came through and it was during that time they discovered what they believed could be a person of interest, a person who could be responsible. and they worked off that. we know there is forensic evidence linking him or at least they believe. we dont know if its h...

>> no. i think what i am going to tell you is there is significant activity thats going on in south florida. the sorting facility certainly has changed everything. the fact they were able to locate where some of these packages were sent from has changed the game here. i think law enforcement is very confident in that they have some good, strong leads. well see what today brings. but this is going to step up whatever it is that law enforcement is trying to do in terms of apprehending someone. thi...

Investigation. i think the change in the law enforcement stance in the last 24 hours, they do feel more optimism they will be able to stop this because they have been able to isolate the place where this appears to have originated. it appears they feel these packages originated largely from southern florida. so this is where they are sending their resources. they will be pressing forward to make sure they could get to this person before anybody gets hurt. >> just a quick question on that the way...

Were told in plantation, florida. theres a whole lot of activity that you can see right there. >> you know, kate, we know theres been a whole lot of activity in florida. for the last 24 hours, outside of the sorting facility. youre seeing, i dont know if thats fbi or local. it looks like its fbi. so those are the teams, it looks like, the kind of s.w.a.t. teams that go in and make these arrests. they could be serving a search warrant at that home to look for obviously evidence. >> these two area...
