ROME, Dec 29 (Reuters) - A suspect package was found at the U.S. embassy to the Vatican, police in Rome said on Wednesday.
The embassy staff hadn’t been evacuated from the building, but there was a suspicious package that was being investigated, Embassy spokesman J. Nathan Bland told The Associated Press.
Carabinieri police confirmd the bomb squad was investigating.
The discovery comes days after an Italian anarchist group claimed responsibility for two parcel bombs sent to the Swiss and Chilean embassies in Rome last week. A third parcel bomb was found at the Greek embassy on Monday.
There have also been more than a dozen false alarms as embassy staff comb through mail backlogs following the Christmas holidays.
