Three More Mail Bombs Discovered At US Post Offices

Three suspicious packages have been found in the US, two addressed to a top Democrat and one to a former senior intelligence official, US media say.

Two items were found in a search of a Florida mail facility, and another at a Manhattan post office. Top Democrat Cory Booker and former national intelligence chief James Clapper were targeted.

The news came after several mail bombs were sent to prominent critics of US President Donald Trump.

The FBI has been searching the Florida facility for evidence. Ex-President Barack Obama and actor Robert de Niro were among those targeted.

Security camera footage at the postal facility in Opa-locka, Miami, is being scrutinised. A bomb squad and canine unit had accompanied federal officials to the site, police from Miami-Dade County said.

President Trump Invites Putin To US

President Donald Trump has invited his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, to visit Washington next year, US National Security Adviser John Bolton says.

It is unclear if Mr Putin has accepted the invitation.

The two leaders have met several times on the sidelines of international meetings but have held only one bilateral summit, in Helsinki in July. They are expected to meet briefly in Paris next month to mark the centenary of the end of World War One.

The invitation comes amid strained relations between the two countries.

Mr Bolton visited Moscow earlier this week to convey US plans to withdraw from the 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) treaty – a landmark nuclear deal.

Pipe Bomb Package Sent To Robert De Niro Restaurant

A suspect package similar to those sent to senior public figures has been sent to a New York restaurant owned by the actor Robert De Niro, US media say.

The device arrived at the Tribeca Grill in Manhattan early on Thursday local time, US media said, citing police.

Former Vice-President Joe Biden has also reportedly received packages. If linked to previous incidents, this would be the ninth perceived critic of President Donald Trump to receive a suspected explosive device this week.

De Niro – the star of films Raging Bull and Meet the Parents – is a vocal Trump opponent, and once called him “a national disaster”. When the Oscar-winner attacked him at the Tony Awards in June, the president responded by calling De Niro a “very low IQ individual”.

The New York Police Department said the restaurant building – which also houses his production company TriBeCa Films – was empty at the time the suspicious device arrived, NBC reports.

Shortly after the news broke, President Trump appeared to pin the blame on the media, tweeting: “A very big part of the  anger we see today in our society is caused by the purposely false and inaccurate reporting of the Mainstream Media that I refer to as Fake News.”

SAS To Accept Women For The First Time

Women will be able to apply for any role in the military for the first time, the defence secretary has said.

Gavin Williamson announced that women already serving in the Army are now able to transfer into infantry roles, including the special forces. He said for the first time the “armed forces will be determined by ability alone and not gender”.

A ban on women serving in close combat units in the British military was lifted in 2016.

The Royal Armoured Corps was the first ground close combat branch to open its doors to women in November 2016.

Since then, about 35 women have either served or been trained to join the Royal Armoured Corps.

Obama And Hilary Clinton Both Sent Explosive Devices

Suspected explosive devices were sent to former US President Barack Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the US Secret Service has said.

It comes two days after a bomb was found at the home of liberal philanthropist and financier George Soros in the suburbs of New York City. The devices were discovered by technicians who screen mail sent to the former US officials.

The Time Warner building in New York was also evacuated due to a package.

CNN, which is located in the Time Warner building, evacuated its newsroom over the incident, CNN president Jeff Zucker confirmed in a statement.

Mr Zucker said the suspicious package was discovered in the building’s mailroom, and that all the CNN offices around the world are now being searched “out of a complete abundance of caution”. According to a statement from the US Secret Service, a package addressed to Mrs Clinton was recovered late on 23 October.
