BERLIN, Nov 2 (KUNA) -- A suspicious package sent to German Chancellor's
office here on Tuesday proved to be a bomb, government spokesman Steffen
Seibert said.
The parcel scanning center of the Angela Merkel's office suspected the
package during a routine inspection, so they called in explosive experts who
verified that the packaged contained black gunpowder.
The explosive package was safely defused an no one was injured, the
