Pipe bombs mailed to Trump critics, caravan reaches Mexico, Dodgers trail Red Sox and more.

Suspicious packages
Police stand guard outside the Time Warner Center after a suspicious package was found inside the CNN offices in New York on Oct. 24.
Pipe bombs sent to several prominent critics of President Donald Trump and to CNN's New York newsroom triggered a nationwide investigation and bipartisan condemnation on Wednesday.

Backing the president
Supporters cheer before President Donald Trump took the stage for a rally in support of Sen. Ted Cruz in Houston on Oct. 22.
Trump escalated his immigration rhetoric at the midterm rally, falsely accusing Democrats of "encouraging millions of illegal aliens to break our laws, violate our borders and overwhelm our nation."



Whale's tail
The tail of a dead fin whale that washed ashore on a beach in De Haan, on Belgium's North Sea coast is removed on Oct. 25.
Fin whales, which can weigh up to 49 tons, are the second-largest animal in the world. The whale was being cut into pieces, with the meat carried off before rotting further.
Professor Thierry Jauniaux of Liege University said the whale could have been hit by a passing ship.
