Nothing fake about this package being discovered at this mail sorting facility, addressed to corey booker. we just learned the air space over this facility has been closed, which is interesting. we did find a device there. rosa flores is standing by outside the facility where an 11th apparent package just discovered there. rosa? >> reporter: john, what you described really jives with what we saw on the ground here yesterday evening because all of a sudden the bomb squad arrived. there were k-9s ...

Tried to determine, tried to investigate what is happening here. >> all right. jason, standby there if you will. i just want to read you a tweet from the fbi that came out moments ago, confirming our reporting. it says the fbi has confirmed an 11th package has been recovered in florida similar in appearance to the others. this one addressed to corey booker, democrat from new jersey. that on your screen is new york. this sorting facility here in new york has been evacuated. you can hear the siren...

So now the one in new york here six blocks away from us, we are told that a postal inspector found it today and alerted the fbi and then the fbi called the nypd bomb squad. >> do you know who it was addressed to? >> we dont know. there is a concern that this is going to be another one. we havent seen any of the photos yet. we dont have any information yet. nypd is there. but it all makes sense, another sorting facility. this could potentially be the 12th one. >> you are such a good reporter. you...

The lack of a triggering mechanism suggests the bombs were never meant to explode. >> i think they were meant to be found just to deliver the message of fear and terror and to, you know, garnish attention. >> still, authorities urging the public to be vigilant. >> these devices should be considering dangerous. >> now, according to the n brfb the bombs were transported to virginia where investigators are processing them, hoping to get a break, perhaps a fingerprint or finding dna within the packa...

Units and even postal police. we are learns about it from employees inside. they tell me that 20 inspectors are inside following clues. the nation-wide man hunt for the person or persons that sent at least ten explosives to people villified by president trump now focussed on south florida. specifically this postal facility where several of the packages were processed. local police calling in their bomb squad and k-9 units to help in the investigation. >> there was some leads. i think the fbi is ...

But i think it is important to note that this is not something new that has come into the system or something they just found. remember, yesterday, they started searching this sorting facility in florida, which has given authorities a lot of clues. they sent in bomb sniffing dogs. during that time perhaps, maybe they uncovered this other suspicious package. obviously this is now in the hands of the fbi, the miami fbi. the field office in miami is investigating this package. >> this would fit the...

Doing is going back and looking through postal facilities. these packages are very, very distinctive. it appears thats what happened in florida where they found this 11th package addressed to corey booker. >> the person or people responsible for this, they are not trying to change it up. it is almost like a taunt. im going to do these in a similar fashion. im either sending a message hoping or planning they dont go off or i want to be so brazen, i want this to be my stamp. you will see the retur...

Manager. they contact the postal inspector. and then the postal inspectors are trained to identify, to handle and to manage the situation. so thats a little background there. and the only other thing i have to add is i just really think about the people i met here yesterday, these employees that are working in this facility that were telling me that they were just hoping to go home safely. >> yeah. so listen, once again we find ourselves in a split screen situation. so there is suspicious activi...

Thats right while im standing in front of the sorting facility the u.s. postal service or an employee early this morning discovered a package that looks very similar to the ones that we obviously seen on television and alerted a supervisor of the bomb squad was called and its now been transported faithfully to a facility in the bronx and in the hands of the f.b.i. so once again the postal service at the front lines of all of this is there a sense of relief where you are now with the alleged susp...

Packages it never exploded, able to perhaps match them up. there is a south florida u.s. postal service sorting facility. were at least two of these package bombs had stopped more went through as they were then sent around the country including one discovered last night or in the early hours this morning after miami-dade police department bomb squad in conjunction with the fbi went into that sorting facility which is an enormous place. theres all incoming mail going to destinations in south flor...
