An 11th possible explosive device was intercepted Friday, the FBI said, intended for New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker.

The FBI said it recovered a suspicious package at a Florida mail facility that was similar in appearance to the 10 others found this week.

Meanwhile, the NYPD is investigating another suspicious package in Midtown Manhattan.

The NYPD tweeted just before 8:45 a.m. that they are "responding to a report of a suspicious package in the vicinity of West 52nd Street and 8th Avenue." They advised locals to avoid the area while they investigate.

According to NBC, the package found there was addressed to James Clapper, the former director of national intelligence.
