AUSTIN, Texas - President Donald Trump is blaming a "very sick individual or individuals" for a series of bombings in Austin, Texas.

Trump said during an Oval Office meeting Tuesday with Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman that the situation is "terrible."He says, "This is obviously a very sick individual or individuals" and that authorities are "working to get to the bottom of it."Trump's comments came hours after an early-morning explosion at a FedEx distribution center near San Antonio. Authorities say it was a bomb addressed to an Austin home that had been sent from Texas' capital city. Investigators found a second bomb at the facility that hadn't exploded.

Authorities believe the latest parcel bombs are linked to the four bombings this month in Austin that have killed two people and injured four others.
