Two arrests as suspect packages sent to NHS

Two men have been arrested as part of a counter-terror investigation after suspicious packages containing liquid were sent to up to 25 NHS trusts.

Scotland Yard said the men, a 29-year-old from Brent and a 37-yearold from Harrow, were arrested on suspicion of offences under the Malicious Communications Act last night. They were taken into custody at a north London police station and bailed to return later this month.
