Suspicious package delivered to German governor’s office
BERLIN — German officials said Monday they have secured a suspicious package delivered to a state governor’s office and were investigating it for possible explosives.
Thuringia governor Bodo Ramelow told the dpa news agency that police were alerted by workers in the office in Erfurt and have told him the package may contain a hand grenade.
Thuringia governor’s office spokesman Guenter Kolodziej told The Associated Press that a police bomb squad was inspecting the package. He didn’t give any further details.
Another suspicious package was delivered Friday to a pharmacy in Potsdam, triggering the evacuation of a Christmas market on the same street, after police were called.
