London: 3 small IEDs found at Heathrow airport

London : Three small Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) have been found at the Heathrow airport, City Airport and Waterloo station on Tuesday.

"The packages – all A4-sized white postal bags containing yellow Jiffy bags - have been assessed by specialist officers to be small improvised explosive devices. These devices, at this early stage of the investigation, appear capable of igniting an initially small fire when opened," the police stated.

The police officers have initiated investigations, law enforcement authorities are treating the incidents as a linked series and "keeping an open mind regarding motives".

"Flights at Heathrow & City Airport have not been affected. Train services at Waterloo Station continue to operate. As a precaution, some DLR services were suspended but now fully operational," Metropolitan Police tweeted.

No arrests have been made so far, also no reports of injuries have come.
