Explosion outside Swiss Embassy in Greece


Athens, Greece (CNN) -- There was a small explosion outside the Swiss Embassy here Tuesday, but no one was hurt, Greek officials said.
Police said they also carried out two controlled explosions Tuesday, including one outside parliament, where a courier carrying a parcel addressed to the Chilean Embassy stopped after getting suspicious, police said.
The other happened close to the area where two men were arrested Monday after a parcel bomb, addressed to the Mexican Embassy, exploded at a private courier company, police said.
At the same time, police were checking a suspicious parcel at the Bulgarian Embassy, the Greek public order ministry said.
The explosion at the courier company Monday left one woman wounded. The two suspects were arrested after police cordoned off the surrounding area, the ministry said. Both were wearing wigs and one of them was wearing a bulletproof vest.
