Explosive Packages Sent to Germany & Italy

Packages that contained bombs were sent to the leaders of Germany and Italy. The package that was sent to Germany was found in the Angela Merkel's, the German chancellor, office. It was given to the police to investigate, and it is known that it was sent via cargo from Greece. As well, two other packages that contained explosives were found in Athens and were "addressed to the European Union law enforcement agency (Europol), based in The Hague, Netherlands, and the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg." Both packages were detonated and were not sent off. As for Italy, the package was intent for the Italian Prime Minister, Silvio Berlusconi, and the officers who detonated the bomb said it did not hurt anyone but it "burst into flames." With these packages sent out, Greece has stopped their shipments for 48 hours.
