Atlanta police have reopened several streets as local and federal police probe a suspicious package found at a postal facility near the downtown area. At noon Monday, a robot was being maneuvered outside the facility and about 100 feet from a row of U.S. mail trucks in the parking lot. An Atlanta Police Department bomb squad unit was parked at the entrance to the parking lot. Federal agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service were investigating on the street just outside the postal facility's parking lot. The FBI has confirmed that the package recovered at the Atlanta facility was addressed to CNN.
