Suspicious package addressed to Robert De Niro: reports
WASHINGTON, Oct 25, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Police are investigating a suspicious
package addressed to actor Robert De Niro in New York, news reports said
Thursday.
CNN quoted two law enforcement sources as saying the package was addressed
to De Niro at an address in the Tribeca area of Manhattan.
The report came a day after the FBI said pipe bombs were sent to Barack
Obama, Hillary Clinton and other prominent Democrats. De Niro is an outspoken
critic of President Trump.
The New York Police Department said it was responding to reports of a
suspicious package in Tribeca but did not mention De Niro.
