An explosion ripped through the Rome offices of the communist daily Il Manifesto, injuring the suspected bomber, said Italy’s interior minister. The blast shook the building, located in an area packed with shoppers. Interior Minister Enzo Bianco said the suspect, Andrea Insabato, 41, was known to authorities as a veteran right-wing extremist. The blast raised concerns of a return to political violence four months before a general election.
