Investigators in Germany said on Friday they were probing a possible link between three recent letter-bomb attacks on German food retail companies in recent days. "We assume there is a connection," said state prosecutors in Heidelberg in a statement after a string of mysterious attacks on a supermarket chain, a drinks company and a baby food producer earlier this week. Further attacks were "not likely" but "could not be ruled out entirely", they added. Prosecutors announced Thursday the launch of a 100-person special commission to investigate the attacks. They also confirmed that an explosive had been identified and disarmed at a parcel distribution centre at Munich airport on Wednesday night. The parcel, which was addressed to the Bavaria-based baby food company Hipp, was the third such attack in a matter of days. On Wednesday, three people were taken to hospital when a letter bomb exploded at the German headquarters of discount supermarket Lidl. Around 100 people were evacuated from the administrative building at the company's head offices in Neckarsulm, western Germany. A similar explosion was also reported in nearby Eppelheim at the Wild drinks company, whose products include Capri-Sun brand. According to national news agency DPA, Germany's food federation had also warned its members to remain vigilant when receiving post. kih/dlc/har
