The second package was addressed to both CNN contributor James Clapper, the former director of National Intelligence, and CNN. That package was addressed to former CIA director John Brennan, who actually works for NBC. It spurred a five and a half hour long evacuation of the building. The first package addressed to CNN arrived Wednesday morning in the mailroom at Time Warner Center, home to CNN’s New York offices. It is addressed to 'CNN' at CNN Center in Atlanta. The post office was evacuated and surrounding streets in downtown Atlanta were shut down.ĬNN has obtained a photograph of the suspicious package sent to CNN in Atlanta that is similar in appearance to ones authorities say were sent by Cesar Sayoc. The Atlanta Police Department said officers responded to the call about the package at 9:38 a.m. “There is no imminent danger to the CNN Center.” The package “was intercepted at an Atlanta post office,” Zucker said.

The new package will be transported to the FBI laboratory in Quantico for analysis.ĬNN Worldwide president Jeff Zucker notified staffers about the new package in a Monday morning memo. Sayoc was arrested on Friday and was formally charged on Monday. This would bring the total number of known packages sent by Sayoc to 15. Soon after the package was intercepted, a law enforcement official told CNN that authorities believe the package is from Cesar Sayoc, the suspect in last week’s bombs. It was addressed to “CNN” with the address of the network’s headquarters, known as CNN Center. The new package bore the same markings and stamps as the others. The FBI said the package was “similar in appearance” to the 14 pipe bombs that prompted a federal investigation last week. This time, on Monday morning, the package was intercepted in Atlanta, the home to CNN’s worldwide headquarters. For the third time in a week, a suspicious package has been addressed to CNN.
