Foreign embassy in UK locked down after 'suspicious package' found

A foreign embassy in London has been locked down after a 'suspicious package' was found.
Police were called to the embassy in Nine Elms at 12.15pm on Wednesday after reports of a suspicious package.
The embassy was evacuated and a cordon was put in place.
Police carried out a controlled explosion on the package, and it was found to be non-hazardous.
The cordon has now been lifted and the embassy has reopened.
A spokesperson for the embassy said: "We are aware of the incident and are working with the police to investigate.
"The safety of our staff and visitors is our top priority and we are taking all necessary precautions."
The incident comes just days after a bomb exploded at a hotel in Copenhagen.
It is not yet known if the two incidents are linked.
