An explosive addressed to actor Robert De Niro was found on Thursday at his production company in lower Manhattan, a day after similar devices were sent to several prominent Democrats and CNN. A law enforcement official said the envelope and printed address labels were similar to those on explosives sent to former President Barack Obama, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and others. An X-ray showed it contained a similar device resembling a pipe bomb, the New York Times reported.
Security personnel at De Niro's company, TriBeCa Productions, discovered the package about 5 a.m. and called the New York Police Department, whose bomb squad responded, officials briefed on the matter said.
