BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Investigators said on Tuesday four letter bombs delivered in four days to top European Union officials and EU bodies involved in crime-fighting came from Bologna in Italy.
Police were investigating links between the letter bombs and Italian anarchists. EU headquarters said it had tightened some security measures but was taking the threats in its stride.
An explosive parcel was sent to EU Commission President Romano Prodi on Saturday and was followed two days later by one to European Central Bank chief Jean-Claude Trichet in Frankfurt.
A third package was intercepted at the EU police agency, Europol, in The Hague on Monday and a fourth was sent on Tuesday to another EU institution called Eurojust. It did not explode.
