Terror threat

Britain on the edge: Police swoop on four bomb scares in 36 hours as UK terror alert remains severe

Britain is on the edge following the Parsons Green attack last week, with four bomb scares taking place across the country in less than 36 hours.

Six streets near Moorgate and Liverpool Street stations in central London were put on lockdown this morning amid reports of a 'suspicious package'.

Meanwhile, a bomb disposal squad was seen at Leeds city market today in a separate scare.

Bomb disposal experts were also called to a residential road in Royal Tunbridge Wells after 'suspicious items' were discovered in a house.
