| 2013-04-20 |
| [An Nahar] A German police bomb squad Friday destroyed a letter containing an explosive substance that was sent to the Berlin residence of President Joachim Gauck, his office and security sources said. Gauck, whose post as head of state is largely ceremonial, was not at the Bellevue Palace residence at the time, and no staff were endangered, an office spokeswoman said. The suspect letter was discovered in routine mail screening and destroyed in a controlled kaboom in a remote part of the grounds of the palace in Berlin, said Gauck's office. |
