Package bomb found at Rome’s Greek Embassy

A PACKAGE bomb was found at the Greek Embassy in Rome yesterday, four days after similar mail bombs exploded at two other embassies injuring two people. The device was defused and no one was injured.

Carabinieri Col. Maurizio Mezzavilla said the bomb was similar to the ones that exploded last Thursday at the Chilean and Swiss embassies. An anarchist group with reported ties to Greek anarchists claimed responsibility for those blasts.

“Having been done in the same way, we can just hypothesize that there is the same hand behind it,” Greek Ambassador Michalis Kambanis said at the embassy, although he added that he knew of no specific claim of responsibility.
