Suspicious parcels at more Rome embassies

A suspect package has been found at Finland's embassy to the Vatican, ANSA news agency reported, shortly after a parcel bomb sent to the Greek embassy in Rome was intercepted and defused.

Firemen and bomb disposal experts were at the Finnish embassy, located in a picturesque street overlooking central Rome, the report said.

Earlier, Nicola Tzoitis, a consular official at the Greek Embassy, told The Associated Press the package was certainly a letter bomb.

Sky TG24 said a suspicious package was also found at the Venezuelan Embassy.

The discoveries followed package bombs that exploded on Friday at the Chilean and Swiss embassies, injuring two people who opened them.

An anarchist group with ties to Greek anarchists claimed responsibility.
