A human foot has been posted to the headquarters of Canada's Conservative party and another body part discovered when police intercepted a second suspicious package, according to police in Ottawa。
Police were called shortly after a receptionist opened a blood-soaked box at the headquarters of prime minister Stephen Harper's party。
The first officers on the scene saw what appeared to be bloodstains on the package and immediately called in hazardous material specialists. They opened it and found the foot。
Police said the package was addressed to the Conservative party of Canada and not a specific person. Harper's office is not located at the party headquarters。
As the investigation developed, Ottawa police said on Tuesday night they had intercepted a second suspicious package containing another human body part. Police released no further details about the second package and said its major crime section continues to investigate。
Detectives in Ottawa were consulting with their counterparts in Montreal, who found a torso in a suitcase. Montreal police sifted through rubbish in the city's west end looking for missing limbs。
Authorities in both cities are trying to determine if the foot and torso came from the same body, but Ottawa police said it was too early to speculate on a link。
A Conservative parliament member who arrived later at his party's headquarters was horrified by the discovery. "It's just awful," said Brad Trost, who first learned about the incident on television. He said it was probably someone's "sick idea"。
"I don't think any of us are thinking this necessarily has anything to with politics," he said. A spokesman for the party would only say that a suspicious package was sent to its office and referred all questions to Ottawa police。

殘肢郵包案嫌疑人盧卡・羅科・馬尼奧塔或已逃離加拿大,國際刑警組織已介入,并于31日正式發出全球通緝令。
馬尼奧塔涉嫌將一名年輕亞裔男子殺害和碎尸,將身體斬開六大件,包括頭顱、四肢及軀體。疑兇更把斬下的一只腳寄給多倫多保守黨總部,斷掌則準備寄往自由黨總部,后在郵局被截獲。至于頭顱及另外一手一腳,去向未明。
更令人震驚是,蒙特利爾警方收到在網上流傳的短片,內容顯示有人用冰鋤狂插一名年輕男子,其后片段拍到二人赤裸躺下,有人把一個死人的頭顱割下和肢解,奸尸和吃掉部分尸身。警方分析后表示,這些內容應該是真實的。
