| Local MP, Manuel Ameijeiras, confirmed yesterday that a letter bomb sent to the offices of Atlántico Promociones Inmobiliarias in Vigo, contained only a small quantity of explosives.
Nobody was hurt and the device was successfully defused by TEDAX bomb disposal experts by around 11.30am yesterday morning without it being necessary to evacuate any residential buildings in the immediate vicinity of the estate agency - which is located on the calle Padre don Rúa near the Plaza Elíptica shopping centre - though the area was temporarily cordoned off while the device was being rendered safe.
Mr Ameijeiras also said that all the evidence seems to suggest that the foiled attack was part of an ongoing campaign to de-stabilise the local property and construction sectors. |
