Bomb squads have been called to a post office in Atlanta about a suspicious parcel, just hours before a Florida man faces a court hearing accused of sending packages containing explosive material to prominent US Democrats. Bomb squads have been called to a post office in Atlanta about a suspicious parcel, just hours before a Florida man faces a court hearing accused of sending packages containing explosive material to prominent US Democrats. The latest suspicious package comes just hours before a federal court hearing was scheduled to begin for Cesar Sayoc, 56, who faces five federal charges. Sayoc was arrested outside a South Florida car parts store after investigators said they had identified him through fingerprint and DNA evidence. He is being prosecuted in New York, so his Florida hearing is likely to be brief and process-oriented.
