Wasn’t me, I swear it …

A letter bomb has exploded at the London HQ of congestion charge firm Capita. A female employee at the office in Victoria Street was slightly injured – she is understood to have opened the envelope.
Victoria Street has been sealed off from Westminster Abbey to just beyond Scotland Yard, with an inner cordon preventing members of the public accessing the building where the incident took place.
All six floors of the office were evacuated.
Capita manages a number of high-profile government IT services including the London congestion charge, the Criminal Records Bureau and revenue collection from TV licensing.
In March last year Rod Aldridge quit as chairman after claims he donated £1m to Labour resulting in the firm receiving Government contracts.
