ew York City Mayor Bill de Blasio called attempted attacks on CNN and top Democrats, including Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, "an act of terror".

Suspected bombs were sent to locations in New York, the Washington DC area and Florida, authorities said on Wednesday.

Mr de Blasio told reporters it was an effort to terrorize and "to undermine our free press and leaders of this country through acts of violence".

The FBI says the ongoing investigation is "of the highest priority".

It has identified five similarly constructed packages and devices to date, including one confirmed to be a pipe bomb found at the home of liberal philanthropist and financier George Soros two days ago
