A SMALL explosive device was sent to an office of Prime Minister Tony Blair's governing Labour Party, police in south-east England said today.

The device was found in a package delivered to the office in Cambridge after a member of staff raised the alarm. No one was hurt, police said.

"We analysed the package and discovered that it did contain a small explosive device," a police spokeswoman said.

"Had it gone off, someone would have been hurt," she said.

Police are expected to give more details about the incident at a press briefing in Cambridge tomorrow.
