The AA said the planting of two bombs on the M6, later claimed by the IRA, and two hoax devices on the M1 led to "the worst incidence of traffic congestion seen in this country". The security operation, which began at 8am on Thursday, is believed to have disrupted the journeys of almost a million motorists." [link to www.independent.co.uk] |

No idea, but a suspect package on a coach in Dover is mostly likely drug related rather then bomb related. I'm not sure I've seen any reports of the bomb squad there. |

Police apparently confirmed the Dartford and Dover incidents were related. See [link to www.dover-express.co.uk] Also multiple ambulances attended the Dover incident. Not likely for a drugs package. |
