German police disarmed a mail bomb Tuesday that was sent from Greece to German Chancellor Angela Merkel's office, hours after similar small bombs exploded outside the Russian and Swiss embassies in Athens in attacks blamed on far-left Greek extremists. Greek police destroyed five more suspected bombs in Athens, and two local men have been charged with mailing bombs.

Among them were two parcels police destroyed late Tuesday in the cargo area of Athens International Airport. Flights were not affected. Police said the packages were addressed the European Union's highest court in Luxembourg and the Europol law enforcement agency in the Netherlands.
