Rome: Parcel Bomb Intended for Greek Embassy

Bomb disposal experts have disarmed an explosive device sent to the Greek embassy in Rome.

A police official said the device bore similarities to bombs that detonated last week injuring staff at the Swiss and Chilean missions.

An Italian anarchist group called the Informal Anarchist Federation claimed responsibility for last week’s attacks – and officials believe it may also be behind Monday’s device.

Authorities have been on high alert since last week’s explosions.

There have also been a number of scares, including suspicious packages found at the Venezuelan, Danish, Monaco, and Kuwaiti embassies – all of which turned out to be false alarms.

Investigators have noted that anarchist groups have a history of staging attacks during the holiday season – and warn more attacks are likely.
