Italian security experts say they're trying to determine if there's a link between Italian subversive groups and letter bombs sent to several European leaders.
Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi received a letter bomb mailed from Athens and sent on a cargo plane by way of Paris, ANSA reported Wednesday.
Greek police say they believe more than 10 letter bombs were apparently mailed on the same day from Athens.
The letter to Berlusconi aroused suspicions after similar letters were discovered Monday and Tuesday addressed to leaders including German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Nicolas Sarkozy as well as a number of foreign embassies in Athens and the Greek Parliament building.
Most of the letter bombs were safely disarmed, although one employee of a delivery service was slightly injured when a letter bomb exploded in the company's offices.
It is "possible" that Italians may be involved in the sending of the latest letter bombs, Interior Minister Roberto Maroni said.
"We know that links exist between Greek and Italian anarchist groups. Thus we will make a thorough investigation to determine whether there is any involvement by Italians," he said.
Greece has temporarily suspended all mail and parcel shipments abroad, and two people are reported to be in custody in connection with the letter bombs, ANSA reported.
