Suspicious packages, believed to contain explosives, have been found in Finland’s Embassy to Vatican and in Albania’s embassy to Rome, the Italian police announced Monday.
Earlier on Monday, Italian police, bomb squads and firefighters deactivated a bomb located inside a package shipped to the Embassy of Greece in Roma.
Another suspicious package for the Embassy of Venezuela in Roma was also found but it did not contain explosives.
Two blasts from packages, sent last week to the Embassies of Switzerland and Chile in Rome, marred the Christmas atmosphere in Italy, sending flashbacks of the times of anarchist terror in the country.
The local "Lambros Fountas Cellof the Informal Federation of Anarchy (FAI)" had claimed responsibilities for the last week attacks. Lambros Fountas was a Greekanarchist killed in a shoot-out with Athens police in March 2010.
Police believe the attackers were inspired by similar recent incidents in the Greek capital Athens.
Later on Monday, suspicious packages were found at the Embassies of Denmark, Morocco and Monaco. According the Italian authorities, the package at theMonaco Embassy only contained an unused notebook.
