LONDON — Britain’s counterterrorism police are investigating after three padded mailing bags containing small explosive devices were found near major transport hubs in London. A building was evacuated as a precaution after the package was opened and part of it burned. Officials say the building is not at the airport and flights at Britain’s busiest airport were not affected. Another mailer turned up near London’s City Airport, a much smaller airport, and the third in the mail room at busy Waterloo Station, a major rail and Underground hub. Waterloo Station was not evacuated, but a small cordon was put in place outside the station.
