After receiving explosive devices in the mail for journalists, Ecuador starts a terrorist investigation.

Ecuador's public prosecutor has opened a terrorism investigation after at least five journalists received envelopes containing explosive devices. The envelopes reached the newsrooms of Ecuavisa, Teleamazonas and TC Televisión television channels, while two envelopes addressed to radio station EXA FM and journalist Carlos Vera were intercepted. Interior Minister Juan Zapata condemned the acts and confirmed that an in depth investigation is underway. Evidence has been collected from the media outlets that received the devices, and all of the devices will be included in a single investigation due to the similarities between them.
