including barack obama and robert de niro, who has been a critic of president trump. cesar sayoc, who's 56, was arrested after a fingerprint was found on one of the packages. nick bryant has the latest from washington. this has been a nationwide manhunt, but it appeared to end today amidst the palm trees of florida. federal authorities arresting a suspect in connection with the parcel bombs just north of miami. law enforcement officers surrounded a white van emblazoned with pro—trump stickers. the president and his vice president, mike pence, and more threateningly, crosshairs over the faces of hillary clinton and barack obama, two democrats targeted with crude bombs. the suspect is 56—year—old cesar sayoc, a registered republican who's evidently a devoted supporter of donald trump. on social media, the former strip club worker posted shots of himself at trump rallies, and this is him

at donald trump's inauguration — wearing a make america great again cap. oh, yeah, donald] trump! next president of the united states! he also posted videos of himself listening to donald trump. trump: you take a look at these people. you study these people... the president's attorney general announced sayoc has been charged with five federal crimes. let this be a lesson to anyone, regardless of their political beliefs, that we will bring the full force of law against anyone who attempts to use threats, intimidation and outright violence to further an agenda. this was the scene earlier in midtown manhattan, where the bomb squad descended on a postal facility where another explosive device was found. it was sent to another prominent critic of donald trump, the former director of national intelligence james clapper. all the packages have looked exactly the same, but on one of them, investigators found sayoc‘s fingerprint. they all contained improvised explosive devices.

though we're still analysing the devices in our laboratory, these are not hoax devices. the initial response from the white house this morning to new of more attacks was extraordinary, the president not condemning them but raising questions about their timing, coming in the run—up to vital congressional elections. appearing after the arrest before a crowd of cheering supporters, he tried to strike a more presidential tone. but the bottom line is that americans must unify, and we must show the world that we are united together in peace and love and harmony as fellow american citizens. there is no country like our country, and every day, we are showing the world just how truly great we are. donald trump presents himself as a law and order president,

but the question will now be asked: is his aggressive style, and his past statements condoning physical violence, encouraging supporters to take matters into their own hands? donald trump has condemned the acts as ‘despicable‘ and says they have ‘no place in america.‘ he's been speaking at a rally in north carolina, where he's taken aim at the media over its coverage of the mail—bombing campaign. the media's constant unfair coverage, had deep hostility and negative attacks, you know that, only serve to drive people apart and to undermine healthy debate. for example, we have seen an effort by the media in recent hours to use the

sinister actions of one individual to score political points against me and the republican party. crowd booing. earlier i spoke to the bbc‘s peter bowes in los angeles. i asked him what more we know about the suspect. well, we know, clearly, because the authorities are saying so, that he is a registered republican supporter, and if they had not said that it was pretty clear from, certainly, the vehicle that was found emblazoned with posters and stickers clearly supporting the president and deriding the democrats. he seems to be a staunch supporter of the president. he was arrested close to what is understood to be his place of employment, a company that makes car parts. he seems to have been very vocal, both on his van, and perhaps he actually lived in that vehicle, and also on social media, about his support for the president and the republicans. one of the other things that has emerged from

the investigation is officers saying that these parcels were not fakes and they could have done serious harm. i suppose there will be concern as to whether there are other parcels somewhere in the postal system, and of course tracking them down and preventing them from reaching people and doing harm? yes, and the authorities are at pains to point out precisely that fact, that this may appear too many people to be the end of the matter, with an arrest, but they are saying there is a strong possibility there are more parcels in the system. and as you have just said, these were potentially very dangerous devices. so the threat to the american people isn't over yet. they are calling for continued vigilance, if people see anything that looks suspicious or any parcel that does not seem to be correct, they are highlighting the misspellings and some of the words in the previous packages, that people should still be on the lookout for something that could be very dangerous. and in terms of the next stages,

i heard during the press conferences earlier, they are still appealing to people for information, the other key question is, was he acting, if this is indeed the man behind it, was he acting alone? or are there others involved as well? yeah, and that is what the authorities are looking at right now. the say the investigation very much continues. they will be forensically examining that van in minute detailing they will be questioning him to see if he will reveal any information about any potential accomplices. so the investigation goes on. officials involved in this are at pains to point out to people that they must be extremely vigilant because we don't really know what is around the corner, and it seems to have been an elaborately planned system, a week of terror

pinpointing some very senior figures in this country, including a former president. it is something that officials are saying to people, look, don't take this lightly. that was peter bowes in los angeles. and you can keep up—to—date with the latest news on the us mail bombs on the bbc website. there you will find latest reports on the hunt and capture of the mail bomb suspect as well as information regarding his background. go to bbc.com/news or download the bbc news app. let's get some of the day's other news: a constitutional crisis has erupted in sri lanka where the president has appointed his predecessor and former rival mahinda rajapa ksa as the new prime minister. but the coalition‘s leader ranil wickramasinghe insists that he is still prime minister and says he still commands a majority in parliament. health officials in the gaza strip say israeli forces have shot
