<p>Mail bombs exploded in the hands of employees at the Swiss and Chilean embassies in Rome, seriously injuring two people and triggering heightened security checks at diplomatic missions.</p>
<p>Italian investigators suspected Thursday&#8217;s attacks, less than three hours apart, were the work of anarchists, similar to the two-day wave of mail bombs which targeted several embassies in Athens last month &#8211; including those of Chile and Switzerland.</p>
<p>One of last month&#8217;s booby-trapped packages, addressed to Italian premier Silvio Berlusconi, was intercepted in Italy.</p>
<p>Italian news agency Ansa reported that a claim by anarchists was found in a small box near one of the wounded employees and was being examined by anti-terror police.</p>
<p>Anti-terrorism police at Rome police headquarters refused to comment on the claim, which Ansa said was made by a group called the Informal Anarchist Federation, or FAI. &#8220;Long live FAI, long live anarchy,&#8221; the claim reportedly said.</p>
<p>Anarchists were blamed by authorities last week for bloody clashes between protesters and police in Rome which marred otherwise peaceful demonstrations by students against a university reform law. The legislation received final approval in parliament yesterday.</p>
<p>Italian investigators were pursuing the &#8220;trail of anarchists-insurrectionists&#8221;, interior minister Roberto Maroni, whose ministry includes anti-terrorist police, said.</p>
<p>Swiss ambassador Bernardino Regazzoni, speaking to reporters outside his embassy, said the device which exploded had been posted, but he did not say from where.</p>
<p>The bomb at the Chilean embassy was sent from inside Italy, Ansa reported. But Chilean ambassador Oscar Godoy said it was not yet clear if the package &#8211; a medium-sized envelope big enough to hold documents and addressed to the cultural attache &#8211; had been posted or delivered by a messenger.</p>
<p>Surgeons removed an iron bolt which had embedded itself in the chest of the Chilean embassy employee who opened the package, said Massimiliano Talucci, a spokesman for Umberto I Polyclinic, where the man was admitted for treatment. The Chilean also suffered a serious hand wound and face injuries, and risks losing the sight in one eye. The Swiss official suffered hand and chest wounds.</p>
