The Office of the Attorney General of Switzerland has taken over the investigation into an explosion that occurred on Monday in the Grange-Canal district of Geneva. A young girl was seriously injured, according to the Geneva public prosecutor's office.
The proceedings were taken over by the Office of the Attorney General of Switzerland (OAG), which is responsible for cases involving explosives, as the Geneva judicial authority wrote on Tuesday. On Monday, the Geneva police cordoned off the area in order to carry out the initial investigation.
According to local media, a parcel bomb was allegedly placed in a letterbox in a building. When it exploded, a twelve-year-old girl was seriously injured.
The case is reminiscent of another that occurred in August in the Saint-Jean district of Geneva. On that occasion, a man was injured in the leg when he picked up a bag of garbage that was lying outside his front door. The bag exploded in his hands.
