British police believe the person responsible for a string of letter bombs earlier this month is a woman, the Daily Mirror tabloid reported on Monday.Citing unnamed police sources, the Mirror said police had analysed a series of labels used to address four of the seven devices, which had revealed that the handwriting was that of a woman.
"Analysis of the handwriting on some of the bomb packaging leads us to believe it's the work of a woman," an unidentified senior police source was quoted as saying by the tabloid.
"We have a number of suspects in mind and are expecting to make arrests this week."
The spate of letter bombings injured eight people over a three-week period ending about two weeks ago.
Six of the seven companies targeted in the bombings provide services or technology to law enforcement agencies.
Media speculation about the identity of the bomber has focused on a disgruntled motorist or animal rights extremists.
