The Irish Police or Gardaí announced that it was helping British colleagues investigate who mailed three small bombs to two of London’s airports and a major rail station on Tuesday.

Sources indicated that the packages were posted from the Republic of Ireland. No one was injured by the devices, one of which caused a small fire in an office at Heathrow Airport.

Small groups opposed to the Good Friday peace agreement in 1998 have remained active since and the issue of the Irish border due to Brexit has seen an awakening of these groups.
