Police investigate claim of IRA link to Glasgow package

A group using a recognised IRA codeword has claimed responsibility for a suspicious package found at the University of Glasgow on 6 March.

On 12 March, the Metropolitan Police confirmed that a claim of responsibility had been made for devices found last week at three London locations and the University of Glasgow. A fifth package remains undiscovered, the police said.

“The investigations into these devices continue and relevant enquiries are being made in relation to the claim that has been made,” the police said in a statement.
