NEW YORK — Former Vice President Joe Biden and actor Robert De Niro are the latest public figures to be sent suspicious packages like those sent to Hillary Clinton, former President Barack Obama and others.

A total of nine suspicious packages have been found as of Thursday in what has become a domestic terrorism investigation, law enforcement sources told ABC News. At least five contained devices resembling pipe bombs, intended to maim or kill.

The packages were addressed to:

  • Two addressed to former Vice President Joe Biden in New Castle, Delaware.
  • Actor Robert Di Niro at his New York City film and television company.
  • Hillary Clinton's home in Chappaqua, New York.
  • The house of former President Barack Obama in Washington D.C.

  • Two addressed to Democratic California congresswoman Maxine Waters in Washington D.C. and her office Los Angeles.
  • CNN's New York City newsroom, addressed to former CIA director John Brennan and delivered by a courier.
