Rome parcel bomb injures Equitalia tax official

A parcel bomb has exploded at a tax collection office in the Italian capital Rome, injuring the director.

Officials at the Equitalia agency said the blast shattered a glass desktop, causing hand and eye injuries to director Marco Cuccagna.

Police said the package also contained a leaflet signed by the Italian anarchist group FAI.

The FAI has said it sent a letter bomb on Wednesday to the headquarters of Deutsche Bank in Frankfurt, Germany.

The Frankfurt bomb, addressed to chief executive Josef Ackermann, was intercepted and made safe, but a letter from the FAI found with the device promised three bomb attacks.

A hospital doctor said surgeons had managed to save Mr Cuccagna's sight after removing shards of glass from both eyes. They were still attending to his hand injury, the doctor said.
