(19 September 2005) Explosion inside the British embassy in Zagreb, Croatia.
The worker - a local man - received "very minor injuries" after a device exploded in a post room at about 0630 BST, the UK Foreign Office said.

Police are investigating the blast, which comes after several embassies received threatening letters this year.
Ill feeling towards the west in Croatia has been inflamed by a delay in talks over joining the European Union.

Eyewitnesses said there was no visible damage. Sniffer dogs were being used as Croatian officers carried out searches of the building.
