A coffee-maker packed with explosives blew up in the doorway of the Italian
Culture Institute in Barcelona on Tuesday, slightly wounding a policeman, police
said.
"The police were warned of a suspicious-looking coffee-maker in the doorway
of the Italian Institute in Barcelona ... When police were investigating the
device, it exploded, injuring the policeman and killing a sniffer dog," a police
spokesman in Madrid said.
The Italian Foreign Ministry confirmed a homemade bomb had been the cause of
the explosion.
"This morning, the staff of the Italian Cultural Institute in Barcelona found
on the steps leading to their building what appeared to be a rudimentary
explosive device," it said in a statement.
Radio reports said police were investigating the possibility that an Italian
anarchist group could be behind the blast.
