Letter bomb at firm injures worker
A letter bomb exploded at a London company that oversees the city’s traffic congestion fee, fire officials said. One worker suffered minor injuries to her hand.
The padded envelope exploded in the mailroom of Capita Commercial Services, which on behalf of the government has control over the $16 daily fee for central London drivers that is intended to reduce traffic.
Capita also collects television licensing fees, handles mediation and insurance for the Criminal Records Bureau, and does work for the Department of Trade and Industry and the Department of Work and Pensions.
