Suspected explosive packages were found at several embassies in Rome today, days after parcel bombs claimed by an Italian anarchist group wounded two at the Swiss and Chilean missions.
Police said a suspect package found at the Venezuelan embassy was found to be a false alarm, while checks were being conducted at the embassies of Greece, Denmark and Monaco.
Last week, an Italian anarchist group claimed responsibility for parcel bombs that wounded two people at the Swiss and Chilean embassies in Rome.
Since then, there have been false alarms at the Irish and Ukrainian missions in Rome as authorities have stepped up checks on mail deliveries.
