A suspicious package discovered in Limerick, Ireland, appears to be identical to packages containing explosive devices that were sent to addresses in London and Glasgow earlier this month
A suspicious parcel discovered in the west of Ireland appears to be identical to parcels containing improvised explosive devices that were sent to addresses in London and Glasgow more than two weeks ago, Irish police said.
A bomb squad was called to a postal sorting office in Limerick shortly after 6 a.m. local time on Friday after reports of a suspicious item. "This parcel appears to be identical to parcels discovered earlier this month in London and Glasgow. The Army EOD team are currently at the scene," the Gardai, as the Irish police are known, said in a statement. The Gardai said it continues to liaise with the UK authorities in relation to these investigations.
