Four Muslim MPs in the British Parliament have been targeted with similar suspicious packages containing a mysterious sticky liquid and a letter calling for ‘Punish a Muslim Day’. Scotland Yard confirmed that specialist officers had been sent to the scene to assess the packages, which were deemed non-hazardous. Parliament has emailed all staff, warning them to “be on the alert for suspicious items of mail”. Meanwhile, Britain’s counter-terrorism officers continue to investigate after similar “Punish a Muslim Day” letters were sent to a string of locations across the country. The letter incites verbal abuse and assaults on Muslims, as well as attacks on mosques, declaring April 3 as ‘Punish a Muslim Day’.
