On October 26, 56-year-old Sizar Seyok was detained in Florida-he was accused of sending at least 14 bombs to famous democrats, including former President Barack Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Vice President Joe Bidden, several current members of Congress, as well as financier Jordu Soros, actor Robert de Niro and former CIA director John Brennan (the package addressed to him came to the CNN TV channel).
Seyoka, who was previously repeatedly delayed by the police, was calculated thanks to the fingerprint of the finger on the package to the Congressman Maxine Waters. It turned out that genetic samples from two packages coincide with DNA, the sample of which was taken from him after one of the arrests. In addition, grammatical errors from his posts in social networks coincided with errors on parcels, writes Associated Press.
The FBI confirmed that the bombs were not dummies - although experts have yet to find out whether there was a real danger of an explosion. According to the director of the bureau Christopher Ray, each bomb consisted of a 15-centimeter fragment of a plastic pipe, watches, batteries and explosives. According to CNN, during interrogation, Saeok said that he did not plan to harm anyone.
Officially, the motives of the accused were not disclosed. Apparently, Seyok is an active supporter of Donald Trump: in 2016, he registered as a republican voter, participated in the presidential election rallies, and a white van, where Seyok seemed to have lived on the outside, was glued with Trump and Vice President Mike Pens. The van also has images of the target on the face of Hillary Clinton and the slogans against CNN (a television channel that Trump actively criticizes).
As the journalists managed to find out, Sizara Seyok was repeatedly detained for theft; One of the accusations against him concerned the threat to arrange an explosion. Friends describe him as a restless and unbalanced person, and a lawyer representing the interests of his relatives (with whom Seyok did not communicate for several years), claims that he has a mental disorder.
Until recently, Seyok worked in the delivery of pizza; The Associated Press also calls it “amateur bodybuilder” and former stripper. His former boss from the pizzeria told reporters that he was an exemplary worker, but constantly expressed herself against minorities: gays, African Americans, Jews and others; Seyok and her herself criticized homosexuality, saying that she would "burn in hell." At the same time, as The Washington Post writes , in conversations with his colleagues, he pretended to be a man of Indian origin. In fact, according to his cousin, the father of Seyok is the Filipino, and his mother is Italian.
Seyok conducted several accounts in social networks, where he shared conspiracy theories (for example, that George Soros hired actors for an anti -oregunite campaign after a massacre in Florida) criticized Donald Trump's political opponents, and also openly threatened them - including those who sent the parcels.
At the time of Sizar Seyok, the charges were known about 13 parcels, which he allegedly sent to 11 to the addressees; Soon the FBI announced that the 14th package was discovered. The bureau believes that some departures could have not yet been discovered. Seyoku faces up to 48 years in prison on several accusations - including illegally transporting explosives and threats to the former US president.
