DVLA rocked by letter bomb attack
9th February 2007
Four people have been treated in hospital after a parcel bomb exploded at the DVLA headquarters in Swansea.
The explosion happened in the post room shortly after 9:20am and is the latest of a string of letter bomb attacks across the UK in the past three weeks.
One female DVLA worker suffered minor burns, while two men and a woman were treated for hearing-related injuries.
One of the victims who was being treated in hospital for injuries, said: "I was shaken, shocked and frightened. It's hard to describe how I felt. Everybody started running around me and I felt quite calm, but I didn't really know what had happened."
Recent reports indicate that the explosion may be linked to an animal rights group, after the name of a campaigner was found in one bomb.
