2 bombs found near Lebanese consulate in Milan

Two handmade bombs were found Friday morning near a building in Milan where the Lebanese consulate is based, Italy’s official news agency ANSA said.

The alarm was triggered after a passerby noticed a package from which two electric cables were popping out.

On the package there was also a note with a writing in Arabic: “It will explode in three minutes.”

According to judicial and investigative sources, one of the two bombs was detonated and Italy’s anti-terrorism authorities are investigating the matter.
