Bekas presiden AS, CNN terima bungkusan disyaki berisi bom

Bangunan Time Warner Center di New York, yang menempatkan pejabat agensi berita CNN, dikosongkan pada Rabu selepas menerima bungkusan disyaki berisi bom.

Bungkusan sama turut dihantar ke kediaman Bill dan Hillary Clinton serta ke rumah bekas presiden Amerika Syarikat Barack Obama di Washington, D.C.

Pihak berkuasa bagaimanapun menafikan laporan yang menyebut bahawa satu lagi bungkusan disyaki turut dihantar ke White House.
