A parcel bomb delivered to the Greek Embassy in Rome was intercepted and disarmed on Monday, while a number of alarms were raised at 12 other embassies, which turned out to be false.
The envelope in the Greek Embassy, as the Greek ambassador Michael E. Cambanis said in Italian publication La Repubblica, was delivered on Friday. It was opened by a staff member on Monday but did not explode.
Within three minutes, the police arrived to disarm the suspicious package, he said. The package resembled the two that exploded Thursday at the embassies of Switzerland and Chile.
The anarchist group Informal Federation of Anarchy (FAI) claimed responsibility for the Thursday bombs, with a note saying “We have decided to make our voice heard with words and deeds. Let us destroy the system of domination. Long live the FAI,” the Epoch Times reported.
Suspicious envelopes sent to the embassies of France, Sweden, Kuwait, Finland, Argentina, Slovenia, Monaco, Estonia, Egypt, Denmark, Albania, and Venezuela all turned out to be regular friendly mail.
Police chief Antonio Manganelli stated in La Repubblica that Italian and Greek police are investigating a potential link between these bombs and the ones last month in embassies in Greece, but so far have not found evidence of it.
