Reports: Letter bomb explodes near London office, injuring one woman
2007-02-05

LONDON (AP) - A letter bomb exploded at a London insurance office and injured one woman on Monday, fire officials said.
The package exploded at Capital Commercial Services, an insurance mediation company that represents such clients as the British Broadcasting Corp., the Criminal Records Bureau, the Department of Trade and Industry and the Department of Work and Pensions.

Police said the injured woman suffered minor injuries and was hospitalized.

The office was near Scotland Yard and several other government offices but police said the target was a business.

Capita was formed in 1984 and has more than 26,000 staff in the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, Ireland and India.

#6  For crying out loud, Mac, wish you hadn't given up there, sends a bad message that they can walk all over you, however small the damage. I have just screwed back nearly a Grand from the Halifax for extortionate charges from the last (up to) 6 years.

They rolled over like a puppy, (not that I like to hump puppies, however cute they look).

Crapita has been a feature in Private Eye for many years, says it all.

#5  Do you have something like our "Small Claims court" in the UK? Or do they owe you a fairly large sum"? SUE THE BASTARDS.

#3  Capita arent very nice at all .

Ironically they owe me money , but I gave up on that long ago . Not worth the stress to pursue it , after 8 months I simply gave up . They would quite happily run me into the ground and ruin my credit rating if it was the other way round . Charming company , not .

#2  Plenty of people who'd like to take-out the 'Crapita' offices - certainly anyone who's been fined for dodging congestion zone payments... or who's worked with them on public infrastructure projects.
