An eighth card promising "Bombs! Bombs! Bombs!" in lower Manhattan was delivered yesterday as cops were investigating whether one of the recipients sent out the series of sicko greetings.
The latest missive from the "New York Jihad" was received yesterday morning by an unidentified man at 400 E. 89th St. on the Upper East Side, cops said. Police declined to say which of the recipients was under suspicion or why they thought the mailings were a hoax. Like the others, it was delivered by US mail. At least one of the eight was delivered to an address in Morningside Heights, and another was sent to a woman in Chelsea. Investigators are testing the card and envelope for fingerprints and DNA evidence, police sources said.
The cards were festooned with cartoon animals and read, "You're invited to a party, so put on a happy face" on the outside. Inside was the ominous message: "Bombs! Bombs! Bombs! Lower Manhattan. July, August, September. New York Jihad." |
