LONDON (Reuters) -British police are investigating a suspect package in the vicinity of the U.S. embassy in London and have put cordons in place as a precaution, authorities said on Friday.
“We’re aware of speculation online about an incident in the vicinity of the US Embassy in Nine Elms,” London’s Metropolitan Police said on X.
