EDITOR’S NOTE: The following is a synopsis of a recent topic trending in world or national news.

Six Forever stamps. Sulfur substance. Manila envelope. Bubble wrap. These are four similar traits of bomb-like devices mailed to multiple public figures throughout the course of last week. 

The bombs targeted Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, George Soros, Maxine Waters, Andrew Cuomo, CNN, San Diego Union-Tribune, John Brennan, California Senator Kamala Harris, Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Eric Holder. None of the bombs exploded. 

The U.S. Secret Service intercepted the bombs before they reached the homes of Clinton and former President Obama.Waters’ package was intercepted at a congressional mail screening facility in Maryland. 

New York Gov. Cuomo found a package in his Manhattan Office. San Diego Union-Tribune evacuated after they saw similar packages outside their building.

CNN’s New York Bureau in the Time Warner Center evacuated when a suspicious package addressed to former CIA Director Brennan was found said city and local law enforcement officers.The package was delivered by a courier and discovered in the bureau’s mailroom.

The bomb directed to Soros was discovered and rendered safe in his home mailbox Oct. 22, police said. Another law enforcement agency suspected the package was not delivered by a mailing service. 

Law enforcement agencies stated that none of the packages were addressed to Schultz, D-F.L.; whoever sent the packages wrote her office address as the return address. The package that was meant for former Attorney Holder had the wrong address and then shipped to Schultz’s office. The packages sent to Clinton, Soros, Obama and Brennan also had the same return address. 

CNN reported that there is no information supporting Schutz sent the bombs.

FBI Agent Bryan Paarmann said the devices seemed to be unstable pipe bombs. All the bombs were constructed simply and similarly, some containing shards of glass as projectiles. 

The FBI have an investigation underway, which will be treated with high priority said FBI Director Christopher Wray.

“We have committed the full strength of the FBI’s resources and, together with our partners on our Joint Terrorism Task Forces, we will continue to work to identify and arrest whoever is responsible for sending these packages,” Wray said. “We ask anyone who may have information to contact the FBI. Do not hesitate to call; no piece of information is too small to help us in this investigation.”

President Donald Trump commented on the bombs during his White House opioid bill signing event Oct. 24. He said he held a briefing with the FBI, Department of Justice, Homeland Security Department and Secret Service before the event.

“We will spare no resources or expense in this effort…” Trump said. “In these times, we have to unify. We have to come together and send one very clear, strong, unmistakable message that acts or threats of political violence of any kind have no place in the United States of America.” 

After four days of searching, the FBI traced the bombs to an AutoZone store in Florida. In the store parking lot, 56 year old Caesar Sayoc was found walking to a white van covered in pictures of President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence, propaganda against the multiple members of the Democratic party and a sticker that read “CNN Sucks.” Inside the van were soldering equipment, manila envelopes and other items that could be linked to the pipe bombs. Attorney General Jeff Sessions said Sayoc is facing up to 48 years in prison.
