A small package exploded at an office in central London on Monday, slightly injuring a female member of staff, police said, triggering jitters in a city on high security alert.

Counter-terrorist police were called in after the explosion in Victoria Street, a short distance from Scotland Yard, London’s police headquarters, as well as close to government offices.

The woman hurt was taken to a nearby hospital for ‘minor injuries’, a police spokesman said. Later sources cited by the Press Association news agency said she is understood to have suffered injuries to her hands.

Police chief Ian Thomas, giving an initial update at the scene, confirmed that a ’small explosion’ had occurred at about 9.40am in the red-brick building.

‘We’re still investigating the cause of that,’ he said, adding that the Metropolitan Police’s ‘counter-terrorism command are looking at all the issues behind that explosion’.

One nearby resident recounted the aftermath of the incident: ‘We only saw the ambulance and the fire brigade come. And a woman has been injured. They just took her into the ambulance.’

‘She had bandages on her arm and her chest. She was in pain. She was walking herself as they took her into the ambulance,’ she said by telephone.

‘All we can see now is police, police, police,’ she added.

Ambulances and other emergency vehicles rushed to the building, where business offices are located above ground-level shops, according to a journalist on the spot.

Police at the scene looked reasonably relaxed, and there was no immediate indication that they feared further incidents - although Victoria Street was closed off all the way down to Parliament Square, outside Parliament.

A Scotland Yard spokesman added that officers remained on the scene ‘to establish the circumstances’.

He added: ‘As a precaution, a cordon has been put in place around the scene.’ He said that it was too early to say who was behind the incident.

An ambulance service spokesman said: ‘Our crews have treated a female patient for minor injuries and conveyed her to hospital. We are still currently on the scene.’

Sky News reported that all six floors of the building concerned were evacuated after a fire alarm was sounded.

Police chief Thomas said other London businesses should be alert. ‘If they have any suspicion about any device just phone the police in the normal way,’ he told reporters. — AFP
