The IRA has claimed responsibility for a series of letter bombssent to addresses in England and Scotland last week, the Met Police has confirmed.
A man claiming to represent a dissident Republican organisation, contacted a media organisation in Northern Ireland on Monday and used a recognised codeword to make the claim.
Four devices were identified last week at transport hubs in London and at Glasgow University, although the person claiming responsibility stated that five devices had been sent.
Police said relevant businesses and sectors had been warned to remain vigilant for potential devices.
'IRA' claim responsibility for letter bombs - but say they sent another one not yet found
