A severed human foot was mailed to the headquarters of Canada's Conservative Party and another body part was discovered when police intercepted a second suspicious package, police said on Tuesday.
Police were called shortly after a receptionist opened a blood-soaked box at the headquarters of Prime Minister Stephen Harper's party. The first officers to arrive saw blood stains on the package and called in a hazardous-material unit. When the specialists opened the package, police found the severed foot inside.
Police said the package was addressed to the Conservative Party of Canada and not to a specific person. Ottawa police said late Tuesday night that they had intercepted a second suspicious package containing another human body part. Police released no details.
The horror was not confined to Ottawa, whose police were consulting with their counterparts in Montreal after they discovered a severed torso in a suitcase. Montreal police sifted through a heap of garbage to see if they might turn up any missing limbs. Authorities are trying to determine if there is a link to the mailed foot.
