Two universities in Britain have been evacuated after reports of suspicious packages being found within their grounds.
Wednesday's incidents came just a day after parcel bombs were sent to two airports and a train station in London.
It is not yet clear if the two incidents are linked.
Police in eastern England said they cordoned off parts of University of Essex and evacuated some buildings.
The same happened at the University of Glasgow in Scotland after a suspicious package was found in the mailroom.
The nature of the packages is not yet known.
