says they can not rule out possibility that another letter bomb is
still within postal system Police in Britain say they have arrested a
man in connection with a series of letter bombs that injured at least
eight people.

A police spokesman said Monday they had arrested a man described only
as being in his early 20s in the English city of Cambridge, about 65
kilometers north of London.

He also said they can not rule out the possibility that another letter
bomb is still within the postal system.







British police cordon off Victoria Street in central London following
a letter bomb explosion at the premises of Capita Commercial Services,
5 Feb 2007The attacks began in late January. The majority of the
explosive devices appear to have been sent to companies that provide
services for law enforcement agencies, particularly those dealing with
traffic and transportation issues.

Police say they believe the bombs were designed to shock rather than
kill or maim their recipients.

Police arrested one man ten days ago after he called a radio station
and said he was going to claim responsibility for the attacks. He was
held under the country's Mental Health Act.
