Florida Democratic Party issues 'Stay Alert' directive after series of suspicious packages found

Another three packages were found Thursday morning and they are similar to the others found earlier this week, according to the FBI.

In total, ten suspicious packages have been found, as investigators search from coast to coast for the person or group that created the devices.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions say that "Across the administration, we condemn the actions that led to these activities in the strongest possible terms."

And despite the nationwide investigation, the New York Police Commissioner says that there are no more current or credible threats. He says however that they "will identify and arrest the person or people responsible."

Police have not yet released the name of a suspect and there is no known motive, but both sides of the political aisle are already placing blame.
