LONDON - Police blew up a parcel sent to a Scottish university on Wednesday and said they were linking it to three devices sent to major transport hubs in London the day before.
White postal bags containing small parcel bombs were sent to London’s Heathrow and City Airport, and Waterloo - the capital’s busiest train station - on Tuesday. One device caught fire when opened but they did not injure anyone and services continued at all three hubs. Dean Haydon, Britain’s senior national coordinator for counter-terrorism policing, told reporters earlier on Wednesday that the London devices were small and not intended to kill but would have required some specialist knowledge to build. There has been no claim of responsibility.
The United Kingdom is on its second-highest level of terrorism alert, after five attacks in London and Manchester killed a total of 36 people in 2017.
