Explosive devices found at Fiat, union buildings

MILAN, July 29 (Reuters) - An explosive device was found on Monday outside the main office in Milan of carmaker Fiat and another similarly rudimentary bomb was located at an office of a labour union near the city, police said.

Police were at Fiat's Milan headquarters where an employee of a Fiat dealership found the device, Marco Rizzo, a colonel with Italy's carabinieri police force told Reuters.

"The bomb squad are working to establish how dangerous it is," Rizzo said.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the device which comprised a paint tin with a camping gas cylinder inside and attatched to what appeared to be a timing device.

The other device was found outside an office of the CISL trade union in Monza, a suburb of Milan.
