Letter bomb that exploded at Paris IMF office was sent from Greece

Officials believe letter may have been sent by group that claimed responsibility for parcel bomb sent to German finance minister

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 Schiuble, on Wednesday.
