Companies and office workers are being advised to take extra care when handling mail after police said a series of letter bombs had injured six people across Britain.
Police said the bombs appeared to be designed to shock rather than kill and the motive was not clear.
"If companies have in place postal screening measures, we ask them to make the best use of them," said Anton Setchell, the domestic terrorism spokesman for the Association of Chief Police Officers.
"If they have any suspicions about any letter or package, they should leave it unopened and call their local police immediately," he said.
Setchell said the explosives in the letters had been "of a small pyrotechnic nature" and did not contain conventional explosives.
The warning came after a blast on Wednesday at the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) in Swansea, Wales, which was the third in three days aimed at agencies or contractors involved in enforcing traffic rules.
Police also revealed that another bomb had hit the director of an unspecified company at his home on Saturday.
Media reports have speculated that disgruntled motorists could be to blame. However the bombs were similar to three others sent in January, one of which bore the name of jailed animal rights activist who died in 2001 while serving an 18 year jail term on arson charges.
All seven bombs were in padded envelopes.
A man described as the victim of Saturday's attack, who gave his name only as Mike, told BBC television he had received the mail bomb at home but now believed it was targeted at his business, which he did not name.
A letter bomb exploded on Tuesday at a company that handles mail for a firm that makes traffic regulation devices, injuring two men. On Monday, a woman was injured by a letter bomb at the headquarters of a firm managing London's congestion charge.
The pledge by Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi to “work, work, work, work and work” for her country has been named the catchphrase of the year, recognizing the effort Japan’s first female leader had to make to reach the top. Takaichi uttered the phrase in October when she was elected as head of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP). Many were initially as worried about her work ethic as supportive of her enthusiasm. In a country notorious for long working hours, especially for working women who are also burdened with homemaking and caregiving, overwork is a sensitive topic. The recognition triggered a
Tropical Storm Koto killed three people and left another missing as it approached Vietnam, authorities said yesterday, as strong winds and high seas buffeted vessels off the country’s flood-hit central coast. Heavy rains have lashed Vietnam’s middle belt in recent weeks, flooding historic sites and popular holiday destinations, and causing hundreds of millions of dollars in damage. Authorities ordered boats to shore and diverted dozens of flights as Koto whipped up huge waves and dangerous winds, state media reported. Two vessels sank in the rough seas, a fishing boat in Khanh Hoa province and a smaller raft in Lam Dong, according to the
Sri Lanka made an appeal for international assistance yesterday as the death toll from heavy rains and floods triggered by Cyclone Ditwah rose to 123, with another 130 reported missing. The extreme weather system has destroyed nearly 15,000 homes, sending almost 44,000 people to state-run temporary shelters, the Sri Lankan Disaster Management Centre (DMC) said. DMC Director-General Sampath Kotuwegoda said relief operations had been strengthened with the deployment of thousands of troops from the country’s army, navy and air force. “We have 123 confirmed dead and another 130 missing,” Kotuwegoda told reporters in Colombo. Cyclone Ditwah was moving away from the island yesterday and
‘HEART IS ACHING’: Lee appeared to baffle many when he said he had never heard of six South Koreans being held in North Korea, drawing criticism from the families South Korean President Lee Jae-myung yesterday said he was weighing a possible apology to North Korea over suspicions that his ousted conservative predecessor intentionally sought to raise military tensions between the war-divided rivals in the buildup to his brief martial law declaration in December last year. Speaking to reporters on the first anniversary of imprisoned former South Korean president Yoon Suk-yeol’s ill-fated power grab, Lee — a liberal who won a snap presidential election following Yoon’s removal from office in April — stressed his desire to repair ties with Pyongyang. A special prosecutor last month indicted Yoon and two of his top
