Italy: Anarchists wanted revenge on Chile, Swiss

ROME — A top Italian official says purported anarchists who sent mail bombs to the embassies of Chile and Switzerland wanted to avenge blows by those countries against their movement.
Small packages exploded when they were opened, seriously wounding two people at the Rome embassies.
Alfredo Mantovano, undersecretary of the interior ministry which includes anti-terrorism police, says the Swiss were targeted because intensified Swiss-Italian cooperation led to the recent arrest of several anarchists. Mantovano also told Italian radio Friday the Chileans were targeted because last year an anarchist died in Chile.
