Ecuador’s public prosecutor has opened a terrorism investigation after at least five journalists received envelopes containing explosive devices.

Three of the envelopes reached the newsrooms of Ecuavisa, Teleamazonas and TC Televisión television channels, while two further envelopes addressed to radio station EXA FM and journalist Carlos Vera were intercepted, the country’s Interior Minister Juan Zapata said Monday.

“This is an absolutely clear message of silencing journalists who have been strong in their way of being or silencing the media,” said Zapata, who condemned the acts and confirmed that an in depth investigation is underway.

In a statement Monday, Ecuador’s Public Prosecutor’s Office said it had opened a terrorism investigation following the various attacks.

Evidence has been collected from the media outlets that received envelopes containing the devices, and all of the devices will be included in a single investigation because of the similarities between them, it said in the statement.

What's wild about this story (which isn't mentioned here) is that the explosives were hidden inside a USB device, which detonates when being plugged in to a laptop/PC.  That's James Bond level sh**t.
