French investigators told their Greek counterparts that the package was sent from Athens by a group called the Conspiracy of Fire Nuclei, the source added.

The far-left Greek group had earlier claimed responsibility for an explosive device, also sent from Greece, that was intercepted on Wednesday at the offices of German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble.
