美特勤局截獲送往克林頓、奧巴馬的可疑包裹
The U.S. Secret Service says it has intercepted two suspicious packages with “possible explosive devices,” one of them addressed to former President Barack Obama and the other to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Within hours, the Time Warner Center in New York, where news network cnn has studios, was evacuated Wednesday morning after a suspicious package was found in the mail room there. A device that was contained in an envelope was safely transported from the site in a special truck by the city's police department bomb squad.
The Secret Service says the package addressed to Clinton was discovered late Tuesday, intercepted at a mail screening facility near her home in a New York suburb where she lives with her husband, former President Bill Clinton.
A second package, according to the Secret Service, addressed to Obama was intercepted at a screening facility at a military facility in Washington, D.C.
An explosive device was found on Monday in a mail box outside the home in the state of New York of billionaire philanthropist George Soros, a major donor to Democratic candidates. Media reports, quoting officials, say all three newly discovered devices appear similar in construction.
Vice President Mike Pence, on Twitter, condemned “the attempted attacks” on Obama, the Clintons, cnn and others” and vowed “those responsible would be brought to justice.” Trump tweeted that he "wholeheartedly" agreed with Pence's comments.美國特勤局表示已截獲兩個裝有“可能爆炸裝置”的可疑包裹，收件人一個是前總統奧巴馬，另一個是前國務卿希拉裏克林頓。
幾個小時後，美國有線電視新聞網cnn在紐約時代華納中心的演播室週三早上疏散，之前在那裏的郵件室發現可疑包裹。市警察局炸彈小組將一個裝在信封裏的裝置用一輛特殊卡車從現場安全運走。
特勤局表示，給希拉里的包裹於週二晚些時候被發現，是在她紐約郊區的家附近的一次郵件檢查中被截獲，希拉里與丈夫、前總統比爾克林頓住在那裏。
特勤局的消息說，收件人爲奧巴馬的第二個包裹在位於華盛頓特區的一處軍事基地的一個檢查設施中被截獲。
星期一，在億萬富翁索羅斯位於紐約州的住宅外的郵箱中也發現了一個爆炸裝置，索羅斯是民主黨人的主要捐助者。媒體引用官員的話說，這三個新發現的裝置的組裝手法看起來差不多。
美國副總統彭斯在推特上譴責這起針對奧巴馬、克林頓夫婦、美國有線電視新聞網以及其他人的“襲擊未遂事件”，並“誓言”將肇事者繩之以法。”特朗普總統也發推稱他”完全“同意彭斯的評論。
