NYPD alerts banks after bomb found at German bank


NEW YORK - An investigation is underway into a bomb addressed to its Deutsche bank CEO, Dr. Josef Ackermann and found in the mailroom of its Frankfurt headquarters.

An investigation is underway into a bomb addressed to its Deutsche bank CEO, Dr. Josef Ackermann and found in the mailroom of its Frankfurt headquarters.

Ackerman is one of Europe's most powerful bankers and is a key advisor in the European Union debt crisis to Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel.

He has played an important role in the efforts to reduce Greece's debt.

Recently the bank's Munich offices had been searched by prosecutor's investigation suspicions that he and other former top executives gave false testimony in an ongoing civil suit.

It was not immediately clear if his role in managing the debt crisis, or some other grievance had triggered the delivery of the bomb. It was discovered by a mailroom x-ray machine and it did not explode.

In New York City 10,000 security officials who take part in the NYPD Shield program were advised by the police unit of the attempted attack at the German bank and reminded them to alert their mail rooms to proper procedures for handling suspicious packages.
