London police blow up suspicious package near parliament

Police use a bomb disposal robot to carry out a controlled explosion of a package found in central London near the British parliament.

Although the package was later found not to be suspicious, emergency services were called to gardens next to the River Thames during the afternoon, a police spokesman says.

“We’ve just been told it’s all been stood down — non-suspicious,” he tells AFP.
