A letter
bomb that was dispatched to the headquarters of the International
Monetary Fund (IMF) in Paris and blew up on Thursday, injuring the
employee who opened it, was sent from Greece, the Greek public order
minister has said.
Greek
intelligence officials are working on the assumption that the blast
in the French capital may have been orchestrated by an urban
guerrilla group that claimed responsibility for a parcel bomb sent to
the German finance minister, Wolfgang Schäuble, on Wednesday.
That
suspicion was bolstered on Thursday when Nikos Toskas said he had
been told the IMF letter bomb had been contained in an envelope with
a Greek return address. “French authorities just informed us
that it was mailed from Greece,” Toskas told Ant1 Television.
There was no
immediate claim of responsibility for the Paris letter bomb, which
was reported to have burned the IMF staff-member on her face and arms
as she opened it.
