A letter bomb has exploded in Victoria Street in London.

Sky News' Home Affairs Correspondent Mark White said the device exploded at 9.40am.

A female employee at the office where the letter was delivered was slightly injured - she is understood to have opened the envelope.

The main road outside the building, which is just 200 yards from Scotland Yard, was closed off with a cordon set up around the entrance.

A police spokesman said: "We were called at around 9.40 this morning to reports of a suspect package at a business address in Victoria Street.

"A female employee has been taken to hospital with minor injuries."

Yikes nothing on fox news yet.

" Yikes nothing on fox news yet "

And this surprises you, why??

And so it begins.....again.
I've always taken great solace in the knowledge that the Islamists don't know when to lay low and let our own aversion to conflict defeat us.
It's a good thing that they are, at least marginally, stupider than we.

[mware]

Well no other channal has it either.

Sky is the sister station so I will give them credit.

Mauzies again?

Since the explosion was at the offices of the contractors who administer Red Ken's London 'congestion charge' on all traffic entering the city centre, I wouldn't yet jump to conclusions about the likely perpetrators.

I wouldn't undercut them so easily.

They knew a blast in Madrid would sway the voters.

They also knew that a blast in America would sway the voters in 06 to Republicans. But they also knew if they stepped up the violence in Iraq for several months leading up to the 06 elections, the weak-spined, impatient Americans would demand a leadership change.

It worked. They do know what they are doing.

"Mauzies again?"

Must be the radical Quakers.

[Fresh Wind]

No, it's the Al Amish organization.

This sounds more like a criminal act than a terrorist one.

When backpacks bombs, car bombs, and truck bombs start exploding, you'll know the Muzzies are back on stride.

"This sounds more like a criminal act than a terrorist one."

I'll bet that mail-handlers are terrorized.

"Profiler!"

I'll bet that mail-handlers are terrorized.

No doubt. But there isn't much bang-for-the-buck here.

Except of course there may be a chance that this had nothing to do with 'Islamists'. Check where it happened. Could have been someone p#ssed off at the congestion charge
