Police investigating parcel bombs sent to Celtic manager Neil Lennon and two high-profile supporters of the club have intercepted a fifth suspect package. The parcel, believed to be a nail bomb, was discovered at a letter return centre in Belfast.
It was revealed last week that packages had been sent to Mr Lennon and two prominent fans
Strathclyde Police previously said those devices, which contained a combination of nails and explosives, were designed to cause "real harm".
Chief Superintendent Ruaraidh Nicolson said: "We'd like to stress that there is still no intelligence to suggest that these packages pose a threat to the wider public and we would urge people to remain calm."
The item, found on April 12, had been returned undelivered from an address in Scotland.
Police are not saying who the package was addressed to, but it ended up at the National Return Letter Centre in Belfast, where undelivered mail with no return sender address is held by Royal Mail.
It is understood the package did not originate in Northern Ireland and had no links to the region.
Mr Lennon said last week he was "baffled" to have been targeted. Read More
