Embassy evacuated

containing a low-powered explosive device.

The package, which caught the embassy staff’s attention due to its lack of sender’s address, was detonated under controlled conditions.
Embassy officials say stamps on the package indicate that it was sent from Italy.

Meanwhile, bullets were found inside mail destined for Rome’s mayor and Italy’s justice minister, the authorities said on Monday.
An envelope that was addressed to Mayor Gianni Alemanno’s secretary contained two bullets and a note from an extremist group named after a slain Red Brigade terrorist.

A similar parcel was addressed to Italy’s justice minister, the mayor said. The suspicious envelopes were intercepted in Rome post offices just days after a letter bomb went off, wounding a tax official. – RT/Reuters.
