CNN bureau in New York City evacuated after suspicious package found
New York — The Time Warner Center in New York City was evacuated Wednesday morning after a suspicious package was found, according to the New York City Police Department. The building houses the New York offices of CNN, which were also evacuated.
The package contained what appeared to be a "live explosive device," said New York Police Commissioner James P. O'Neill. It also contained an envelope with white powder.
A source told CBS News senior national security analyst Fran Townsend the package was addressed to former CIA Director John Brennan. Since leaving the government, Brennan appears on television, but he works as an analyst for NBC News.
"The situation at the Time Warner Center was clearly an act of terror attempting to undermine our free press and intimidate New Yorkers," said New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio. "But the people of this city have shown time and again that they stand up in the face of terror."
