Group claims to have dropped radioactive material on Israeli embassy in Kensington
The Metropolitan Police said they have blocked off public access to Kensington Gardens, which is the park next to the Prince and Princess of Wales’ London base of Kensington Palace and yards from the Israeli Embassy, after several ‘discarded items’ were found in the park.
They added that some officers who have been deployed are wearing protective clothing, and while they do not believe there to be any increased public safety risk at this stage, they are urging people to avoid the area.
The Israeli embassy said in a statement that it was not attacked and staff are safe.
Signs containing the warning ‘Hazardous conditions – do not enter’ have been installed on fencing around the park, which is often used for dog walkers, families and tourists to sit and relax in.
A van belonging to the Metropolitan Police’s chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) team is currently near the bandstand.
A fire investigation unit from the London Fire Brigade and the London Ambulance Service’s hazardous area response team are at the scene.
