Suspicious parcel found at US Embassy to the Vatican: Report

ROME - Italian police bomb experts were dispatched Wednesday to investigate a “suspicious package” found at the US Embassy to the Vatican in Rome, news reports said.

The alarm follows last week’s explosions of parcel bombs at the Swiss and Chilean embassies, and the discovery and deactivation of a similar device at the Greek embassy Monday.

An Italian anarchist group claimed responsibility for last week’s blasts, in which two people were injured.

Since then, several embassies in the Italian capital have reported “suspicious” parcels that were later found to be false alarms.
