Suspect package at Kifissia mall

Bomb technicians were called to a mall in the affluent northern Athenian suburb of Kifissia on Thursday to remove a package containing the ingredients for makeshift explosive devices.

The package, discovered beside a planter near a bank in the Kolokotronis Street mall, was found to contain four gas canisters and a bottle of flammable liquid, ingredients often used to make firebombs.

Forensic experts were examining the contents of the package for fingerprints.
