Woman hurt in 'letter bomb' blast

A woman has received minor injuries in a "small" explosion at an office building in central London.
BBC Home Affairs correspondent Daniel Sandford said what was thought to be a letter bomb was found at the Capita building in Victoria Street, Victoria.
London Ambulance said a female employee had been taken to hospital for treatment to her injuries.
Bomb disposal experts were at the scene and Scotland Yard's anti-terrorism command was investigating.
The scene is just 200 yards from Scotland Yard's headquarters. The Capita building remains closed off, but a cordon on Victoria Street has now been lifted.

Chief Supt Ian Thomas, of the Metropolitan Police, speaking at the scene, said: "At about 9.40am emergency services were called to the offices behind us following reports of a small explosion.
"We are still investigating the cause of that explosion and the Met Counter Terrorism Command are looking at all the issues involved.
"One female employee was injured and taken to a local hospital and while this is a very traumatic incident for her, her injuries are fairly minor." A Metropolitan Police spokesman said the counter-terrorism group was leading the inquiry "as a matter of procedure for an incident involving an explosion of this nature".
