New suspicious package addressed to CNN intercepted in Atlanta

A suspicious package addressed to CNN was intercepted at an Atlanta post office Monday, the network has reported.

It is not immediately clear whether the package comes from the same batch of explosives believed to be mailed to Democratic and media figures by a Florida man named Cesar Sayoc last week. CNN was among the recipients targeted by that first mailing.

"There is no imminent danger to the CNN Center," said CNN's president, Jeff Zucker. "All mail, at all CNN domestic bureaus, is being screened at off-site facilities as of last Wednesday, so this package would NOT have come directly to the CNN Center, even if hadn't been intercepted first."
