Source: Package Bomb Suspect Identified As Cesar Sayoc

MIAMI (CBSMiami/CNN) – Federal authorities have arrested a man in Plantation in connection to a series of package bombs that have been sent to top Democrats and President Trump critics, according to CBS News.

The man was taken into custody at an Auto Zone store on State Road 7 at SW 6th Street around 10:30 a.m. A “loud explosion” was heard at the time of the arrest, possibly from a flash bang device used by FBI in the course of making the arrest.

A law enforcement source told CBS4 the man is 56-years-old Cesar Sayoc and they were led to him through DNA evidence. Sayoc reportedly has ties to New York and that he has a criminal history.

The FBI wrapped a blue tarp over the top of a white van in the parking lot, to preserve any evidence, before it was put on a flatbed truck and taken to an FBI facility.

Friday morning, the existence of two more package bombs were revealed by authorities.

The 11th suspicious package has been found at an Opa-locka mail facility, it was addressed to New Jersey Senator Cory Booker.

It was discovered Thursday night and it is similar in appearance to the others that were sent to prominent Democrats and critics of President Donald Trump.

In New York Friday morning, police responded to a suspicious package at a postal facility in midtown Manhattan. The package was similar to the others and was addressed to former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper at the Time Warner Center where CNN has its New York bureau.

On Thursday, the FBI and the Miami-Dade Police Department bomb squad spent hours at a United States Postal Service mailing distribution center in Opa-locka.

CBS News confirmed several packages may have originated at the facility. Postal inspectors have been poring through millions of pieces of mail, searching for similar packages.

The FBI stated every single suspicious package has the name and address of Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Shultz’s Sunrise office.

Friday morning, Wasserman Schultz said it was ‘disturbing’ and ‘devastating’ to have her name used on the package bombs.

All of the parcels were sent in similar packaging and the devices were made to appear like active bombs. Investigators are working to determine whether the bombs were just poorly designed or if they were simply meant to scare the recipients.

Besides the FBI analyzing the devices in Virginia, CBS News reports investigators are looking through surveillance video from the Opa-locka facility, especially video from cameras in the self-mailing area.

The FBI is also looking for video at neighboring businesses.

Friday’s development comes one day after three additional packages — the 8th, 9th and 10th in the series — were found addressed to Robert De Niro and Joe Biden.

"Rush says last name is Philippine..."

The name took off in the Philippines, but it's Spanish. It's one of the older, less common Spanish names. It's also the name of someone who brought much attention to a Philippino martial art, so the Net is spammed with it.

As for Cesar Altieri, he did everything that he could to fake himself up as a "white" Trump fan before sending the fake bombs. His van windows were covered with new political stickers. He claimed to be an "RNC" "Terrorist" on his MyLife page.

He looks like he just crawled out of the Amazon jungle. There's no East Asian, and there's no "white."

How can he be a registered voter if he’s a 3X felon?

You can thank Jeb Bush for that.

Declassify all the FISA stuff, and disband the FBI.

Very perceptive! Not even the mosr rabid Trump supporter has this many stickers on their car. Once again, like with Kavanaugh, the Whacko Dems have overplayed their hand.

“it was addressed to New Jersey Senator Cory Booker”

Senator Spartacus sighs with relief: now he won’t have to mail himself a fake bomb to prove that he belongs with the “elite” Trump haters ...

Either he’s a total whack job or he’s a front for a terrorist organization or the Deep State or the Democratic Party, but I repeat myself.

Now that his name and address are out there, I wonder if some other whack job will send him a bomb.

Only, it might be a real one. You never now what this nutcase might admit to.

Don’t be surprised if he’s mysteriously killed and nobody seems to know why. It’s pretty easy to find a patsy to “take care of” the other patsy. Maybe his name is Jack Ruby.

Remember the Atlanta Child Killings? Remember how they disappeared from the news after they found out the murderer was a black guy?
