German authorities intercepted a parcel bomb sent to Chancellor Angela Merkel from Greece that could have caused “not inconsiderable damage,” the government said.
Merkel was in Belgium when the parcel was discovered yesterday and no one was injured in the incident, her spokesman Steffen Seibert said. The mailing “fits into the context” of parcel bombs sent to foreign embassies in Athens this week, Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere said late yesterday.
