BRUSSELS -- The explosion of two more letter bombs yesterday left European Union officials seeking immediate security improvements and the head of the EU legislature warned legislators to be on the alert, even in their homes. Since two small bombs were set off outside the home of European Commission President Romano Prodi on Dec. 21, seven letter bombs have targeted senior EU officials, spreading confusion and outrage even though the mailed incendiary devices have produced no injuries."
