The U.S. Transportation Security Administration said it has put extra security measures in place in recent months for certain cargo shipments heading to the United States. The head of Britain’s domestic intelligence agency, MI5, said last month the U.K. is facing a “staggering rise” in attempts at assassination, sabotage and other crimes on its soil by Russia as well as Iran.
The Polish newspaper Gazeta Wyborcza also reported that a fire was reported in a courier truck near Warsaw.
