Anarchists suspected of Italian bombings

A violent Italian anarchist group called CCCCC, which protests at the incarceration of comrades in Spain, was said to be behind a series of parcel bombs delivered to airports, a Spanish airline office and the Italian national broadcaster Radio Televisione Italiana (RAI) since Friday.

Two more bombs were found yesterday. One – at Fiumicino post office, close to Rome's main airport – was defused by police, but another at the head office of RAI exploded, giving off clouds of black smoke but causing no damage or injuries. A message at the post office warned of bombs on Iberia, Spain's flag carrier, over Christmas.
