Pipe Bombs Sent to Biden and Robert De Niro, Latest Trump Critics Targeted
The authorities around the country were scrambling again on Thursday to respond to the mysterious and repeated discovery of crude explosive devices that have been sent to several prominent figures who have been outspoken critics of President Trump.
The latest devices were found in Delaware and New York, the F.B.I. said Thursday morning. Two were addressed to former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr., a Delaware resident, and a third to the actor Robert De Niro, who lives and works in Lower Manhattan.
The wave of pipe bombs — some sent through the mail, others delivered by hand, officials said — has prompted an intense, nationwide investigation into whether people who have criticized the president and been vilified by the right are being targeted. At least 10 devices have been sent and discovered this week, none of which has exploded on its own. Investigators have been trying to determine whether the devices were indeed capable of detonating.
A law enforcement official said the envelope and printed address labels on the packages sent to Mr. Biden and Mr. De Niro were similar to those sent on Wednesday to former President Barack Obama, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and others. An X-ray showed the package sent to Mr. De Niro contained a device that, like the others, seemed to be a pipe bomb.
