Three men were arrested this Sunday
on terrorism suspects
for their alleged relationship with
the explosion of a vehicle next to a hospital in Liverpool
(England) that caused the death of one person and injured another.
The incident occurred this morning around 11.00 GMT at the entrance to the Women's Hospital in the aforementioned city, when
a taxi that had just parked exploded.
Merseyside police confirmed that those arrested are
three men, ages 21, 26 and 29,
who were detained under the Anti-Terrorism Act in the Kensington area of that English town.
The victims of the incident are the driver of the vehicle, a male who was injured and is currently admitted to the hospital in stable condition and the passenger of the taxi, another man who died as a result of what happened and who has not yet been formally identified.
A spokeswoman for the Merseyside Corps previously indicated that "the car involved was a taxi that stopped at the hospital shortly before the explosion occurred."
Agents continue to work "to establish what happened" although it could still be some time before investigators can be in a position to comment.
"We keep all options open about what caused the explosion, but given how it happened, as a precaution, it is the anti-terrorism police unit that is leading the investigation, with the support of the Merseyside Police," police said.
For its part, the hospital continues to be cordoned off and visits from relatives of patients have been temporarily restricted.
"We are reviewing our patients' activity for the next 24 to 48 hours and patients should wait for them to be contacted for updates on scheduled medical appointments or other hospital assistance," the medical center said in a note.
