Attempt Made to Blow up US Embassy in Berlin

An explosive device was found and destroyed by a special division of the Berlin police at the US embassy in the German capital this morning. As a Rosbalt correspondent was told by police headquarters in Berlin, there was an anonymous phone call at about 4:00 local time warning that a bomb had been planted close to the US embassy. Police formed a cordon around the area and used a remote-controlled robot armed with a flame thrower to neutralize the bomb.
