A makeshift bomb exploded behind
the council house in the town of Quartu Sant'Elena outside
Calgliari on Thursday morning, three days before municipal
elections there on Sunday and Monday.
The bomb was left off on a wall behind the building and cement
fragments damaged a fence, window and shutters.
DIGOS security police are investigating the incident in the
town, which has more than 15,000 inhabitants.
A bomb squad collected the remains of the rudimentary device.
A similar device went off in the same place in the run-up to the
last local elections five years ago.
