A suspected parcel bomb has exploded at the offices of the government's driving licensing agency, injuring three women.

Police say a "small explosion" occurred in the mail room of the Swansea offices of the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) at about 09:10 GMT this morning.

It is the third time an incendiary device has been sent to a business in the last three days and the seventh letter bomb in total in the last three weeks, according to police.

This Monday, the central London offices of Capita – which manages the London congestion charge – was targeted with a bomb in a Jiffy bag, injuring a female employee working in the post room.

And yesterday two workers at Vantis, the accountants for the speed camera firm Speed Check Services, were injured when a letter bomb exploded at its offices in Wokingham, Berkshire.

It also emerged today that a fourth letter bomb incident occurred in Folkestone, Kent, on Saturday.

Today's incident has further raised fears that a serial letter bomber with a vendetta against authorities connected with traffic enforcement is behind the attacks.
In my defence, this appears to be a personal vendetta and the spread of attacks shows that all locations are equally vulnerable (including London). But I am glad I don't work for a company that has anything to do with traffic at present.

The first three are quite understandable and probably justified.
