Anarchists Attack Rome

An anarchist group has come forward and claimed responsibility for two mail bombs which were set off in foreign embassies in Rome today.

The two bombs targeted both the Chilean and Swiss embassies slightly injuring one person and seriously injuring another, according to reports.

Late Thursday night the Italian news agency ANSA also reported that a third package was found by Italian anti-terror authorities which was located near one of the wounded. No bomb was inside but instead a claim of responsibility was made by a group calling itself the Informal Anarchist Federation. The note read "Long live FAI, long live anarchy."

Italian investigators suspected an anarchist group could have been involved even before the letter of responsibility was found. Authorities had said that the style and type of bombing device used matched that of Greek anarchist groups.

Just last month on November 2nd, Greek anarchists implemented a wave of 14 mail bombs which were sent to foreign embassies in Athens. Mail bombs were also intercepted in route to Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, French President Nicolas Sarkozy, and German Chancellor Angela Merkel. These attacks were orchestrated by the Greek anarchist group Conspiracy Nuclei of Fire and the FAI is believed to have connections to this group.

These two bombings also come just a week after a peaceful demonstration of students, angry about legislation which was passed in Rome which authorized university reform, led to bloody clashes with the police.

Ever since the Great Recession many countries have seen a rise in anti-authoritarian outrage. Government's across Europe are cutting back on social programs which hurt pensions for the working, sky rocket educations costs, and make health care less affordable. These so called reforms have been really shaking up the black flag bee hive.

When people lose everything and they no longer have anything to lose they tend to lose it.
