Bomb disposal experts blow up suspicious package found in Westminster

Police in London on Tuesday said road closures and cordons had been lifted in Westminster, Britain's political district around parliament, after dealing with a suspicious package.

Police were called earlier to investigate a suspicious package found at Parliament Street, London's Metropolitan Police said.

"The item was found to be non-suspicious," City of Westminster Police said in a tweet, thanking the public for cooperation.

Safety cordons had been established while officers conducted their investigation.

A bomb disposal robot was brought to the scene and a controlled explosion took place inside a phone box in the presence of firefighters, a media report said.
