	Mailbomb - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A mailbomb (or mail bomb), also called parcel bomb or letter bomb, is an explosive device sent via the postal service, and designed to explode when opened, injuring or killing the recipient, usually someone the sender has a personal grudge against, or more indiscriminately as part of a terrorist campaign.
		Mail bombs are usually set to explode immediately on opening, with the intention of seriously injuring or killing the recipient (who may or may not be the person to whom the bomb was addressed).
		Parcel bombs may have excessive postage because a bomber usually does not want to mail a parcel over the counter having to deal with a clerk.

		The number of terrorist-related deaths in the UK since the late 1960s represents less than 3% of the number of road accident deaths during the same period (and the great majority of these terrorist casualties were in Northern Ireland).
