ROME, May 12 (Reuters) - An explosion occurred near a post office in central Rome on Friday, Italian media reported, adding that no one appeared to have been injured in the blast, which may have been a paper or parcel bomb. The blast occurred in a small parking area outside a side entrance where people go to pick up packages that the post office couldn't deliver because no one was home.
An explosion outside a prominent post office in Rome causes damage to a car; however, no injuries or deaths have been reported. A preliminary investigation indicated it was most likely “a demonstrative act, showing that it could be done”.
