LONDON (AP) – A suspicious vehicle found near London’s Hyde Park is connected to a car bomb defused earlier by British police, Sky News TV reported Friday.
Police closed Park Lane, on Hyde Park’s eastern side, to investigate a suspicious vehicle and set up a 200-meter (650-feet) cordon around the car. The road was closed hours after authorities defused a car packed with explosives in the city’s West End.
