UK: Man charged over bomb hoax outside US Embassy

LONDON

A man has been charged over a bomb hoax incident near the US Embassy in south London last week, British media reported Monday.

Daniel Parmenter, 43, was arrested on Sunday after police searched his home. He faces charges related to a suspicious package that prompted a security response last Friday.

The London Metropolitan Police have said there are no known links between this case and other recent reports of suspicious packages.

Further investigations are ongoing.
