Bomb casts shadow of fear over Genoa
An Italian policeman was injured by a letter bomb delivered to a police post in a suburban railway station in Genoa on 16 July. No one has claimed responsibility for the attack but it is believed to have been carried out by a group opposed to this week's G8 summit in Genoa. Up to 100,000 protestors are expected to travel to Genoa for the summit where they will be met by 16,000 police and soldiers hoping to prevent the kind of violence seen at last month's Gothenburg European Council.
