LONDON: London police said they were investigating a suspicious package at the British parliament where one woman was being assessed as a precaution.
"We were called ... to a suspicious package delivered to an office at the Palace of Westminster," a Metropolitan police spokeswoman said.
"Specialist officers are on scene and the package is being assessed.... A woman is being assessed as a precaution."
Several suspicious parcels have been posted to Muslim lawmakers' parliamentary offices in recent days. They were later found to be non-hazardous.
