(Nov. 1) -- After years of relative quiet, it's been a busy few days as far as mail bombs are concerned: On the heels of last week's foiled bomb plot on cargo planes headed from Yemen to the United States, Greece has discovered four parcel bombs today.
Two Greek men were arrested in Athens carrying a bomb in a package addressed to French President Nicolas Sarkozy. Earlier in the day, a woman was wounded when a package exploded at the courier company where she works in the capital city. It was addressed to the Mexican Embassy and exploded as she was moving packages around, according to CNN. She suffered burns to her hands and was taken to a nearby hospital, Bloomberg reports.
Two other package bombs were found near where the two suspects were arrested. One was addressed to the Belgian Embassy in Athens, the other to the Dutch Embassy.
The suspects, age 22 and 24, were wearing wigs and carrying pistols and ammunition, and one was wearing a bulletproof vest, according to CNN and Bloomberg. The 22-year-old is suspected of being a member of an anarchist group called "Conspiracy of the Cells of Fire."
