LONDON: British police said on Sunday that counter-terrorism officers were investigating the explosion of cars at the Liverpool female hospital which made one dead, even though it had not been declared a terrorist incident.
“Unfortunately, we can confirm that one person has died and the others have been taken to the hospital where he was treated because of his injury, which fortunately did not threaten the loss,” Merseyside police said in a statement.
“We keep an open mind of what caused an explosion but remembering how it happened, because of caution, counter-terrorism police led the investigation,” he added.
The investigator believed that the car involved was a taxi, which exploded shortly after being withdrawn to the hospital in the northwest of England.
The recording posted on social media shows thick black smoke flows into the air outside the hospital.
