Rome embassy bomb blasts

Two people were injured as a result of mail bombs that were apparently taken to Swiss and Chilean embassies in Rome, Italy.

Italian investigators believe that the individuals behind this incident are anarchists, and are fearful that future attacks may be possible, not just within Italy, but in other countries including Spain and Greece, as many people are visiting Europe over the holidays. As you may recall, Sweden had a similar attack a few weeks ago.

Thankfully thus far, no innocent people have been killed as a result of the attacks, but it is spreading a wave of fear throughout Europe, and the notion of this apparent 'anarchist' movement, while not necessarily connected to any of the terrorist organizations, but still violent nonetheless, seems to be growing its roots based on Europe's current trends.

Italy also blamed this anarchist group for the clashes between the police and student protesters who were opposing university reform laws, which happened last week. Incidentally, similar actions have been carried out in rioting in Greece after their monetary collapse earlier this year, and just this month, students in the United Kingdom protested against fee increases at universities and even went so far during one of these protests to actually attack both Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall and Prince Charles who were riding together in his own Rolls Royce, while the students began preaching "off with their heads".

You can obviously see the commonality of anarchy in Europe. The idea of anarchists possibly targeting embassies in Italy out of protests, does not seem to be any different than the events in the United Kingdom.

There is a growing problem in this world right now and people are starting to get angrier and revolting. I personally think it will continue to get more ugly, before it ever gets any better and would not be surprised if we start to encounter the same situations in the United States.
