Bombs found on Blair holiday isle


Police defused a bomb near Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi's villa in Sardinia shortly after Tony and Cherie Blair ended a visit to the Italian leader.

Bomb-disposal experts found and defused a device containing dynamite, a fuse and a timer close to a rubbish bin in nearby Porto Rotondo, according to police spokesman Giovanni Lopresto.

News agency Ansa said the bomb was set to explode at 4:30 a.m. local time (0330 BST).
