Earlier Tuesday a bomb threat was emailed to a local Fox affiliate on day two of the DNC convention.

Far-left protestors threatened to bomb the DNC convention.

Chicago police are investigating warnings pipe bombs were planted at four hotels near the DNC convention.

“We placed bombs in your hotels. F*ck you and all the DNC bastards. You will understand what they are going through,” the email from “kid sniffers” said in reference to the Democrats’ support for a “genocidal regime in Israel.”

Chicago police said to expect bigger protests today.
