Two men have been arrested after a home-made bomb was sent in the post to MI5 headquarters.
Police raided two houses in Caernarfon, North Wales, after a package containing explosives was sent to the security service in London.
A second package was discovered at a sorting office in the capital.
The crude devices, which were found last week, are not thought to have posed a real threat as they were so badly put together.
Two men, aged 52 and 21, were arrested on Friday on suspicion of explosives offences.
A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: "The two men are being interviewed by police in London."

It would be interesting to know the ethnicity of the accused, it was tell us if it is Al Quaida or Welsh Nationalist.
