Bombing suspect targeted more people in Los Angeles, sources say

The Florida man accused of sending bombs to top Democrats, Trump administration critics and the media across the United States kept lists and other information that suggest he had more than 100 potential targets for his campaign of terror, including at least 15 in the Los Angeles region.

The FBI and other law enforcement agencies have begun reaching out to potential Southern California targets of Cesar Altieri Sayoc Jr., 56, who is accused of mailing 14 explosive devices to formerPresident Obama, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, senators, actor Robert De Niro and CNN.

Law enforcement sources declined to identify anyone on the list. It’s possible other packages containing pipe bombs were sent to Los Angeles but officials don’t believe there could be many, said a source who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

So far only one package linked to Sayoc has been found in Los Angeles. It was addressed to Rep. Maxine Waters (D- Los Angeles) and was intercepted by authorities at Los Angeles’ central postal facility last week. Packages also were sent to Sen. Kamala Harris in Sacramento and anti-Trump activist Tom Steyer in Burlingame.
