Police investigating suspect package at British parliament

A suspect package triggered a security alert at the British parliament on Thursday but there were no reports of illness or injury, police said. A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said a suspect package had been received in parliament at around 12.30 p.m. local time and was being examined. A reporter for the Times said on Twitter that a letter to a member of the upper house of parliament, the House of Lords, was being analysed by police after white powder was found in the envelope.
