Package found on Rome train

A SUSPICIOUS package full of wires and powder was found yesterday in a metro car in Rome, prompting a terror scare during the Christmas season.

But the city’s mayor said the device could not have exploded.

The device was found at around 10am inside a train at the Rebibbia station, on the outskirts of the Italian capital. The train was at the end of the line and empty when the package was found, said Atac, which runs the Rome underground.
