International Gatwick Airport and US Embassy in London evacuated days after Glasgow ‘bomb scare’

[Croo67]

Controlled explosions have been undertaken at the US Embassy in London and Gatwick Airport today after ‘suspicious packages’ were identified.

This comes just days after a controlled explosion of a ‘suspicious package’ at Glasgow’s main bus station, leading to the evacuation of a nearby university and shopping centre, as well as the arrest of three men found in possession of ‘weapons’ - they were later released without charge and with no explanation given to the public.

What is going on in the UK?

The Glasgow detonation was confirmed to be a non explosive object. I'm not a bomb disposal expert so I'm not sure why they'd blow it up before they know what it is though.

Weird that they arrested three men, announce to the media they were in possession of weapons, then release them all without charge.
