ATHENS, March 16 (Xinhua) -- The booby-trapped letter which exploded on Thursday at IMF's premises in Paris, injuring an employee, was also mailed from Greece, Greek Public Order Minister Nikos Toskas said.
As dispatcher of the letter was cited conservative main opposition New Democracy (ND) party spokesman and former Public Order Minister Vassilis Kikilias, the Greek official said in an interview with Greek Ant1 television.
On Wednesday evening, Toskas had announced that a parcel bomb addressed to German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble which was intercepted at the ministry's mailroom earlier in the day was mailed from Athens. The sender in this case was cited ND vice president Adonis Georgiadis.
On Thursday morning in a short proclamation posted on an anarchist website, the Greek guerilla group "Conspiracy of the Cells of Fire" claimed responsibility for the package sent to the German Finance Ministry, warning with more attacks.
According to German police, the parcel bomb was designed to cause considerable injuries when being opened.
The guerilla group did not clarify why the German Finance Ministry was chosen as a target.
Greek police was investigating how the explosives passed airport controls, Toskas said on Thursday.
