Security tight after Rome blasts
- 12 years ago
Authorities in Italy have tightened security amid fears of further bomb attacks a day after explosions at two embassies in the capital wounded two people.
Police were on alert for new attacks on Friday, following separate blasts at the Chilean and Swiss missions in Rome on Thursday.
An Italian anarchist group known as the Informal Anarchist Federation claimed responsibility for the mail bombs, saying the explosions were done to avenge actions by those countries against their movement.
Al Jazeera's Sabina Castelfranco, reporting from Rome, said police presence was visible in the streets on Friday to ensure citizens feel safe.
