Iceland police say homemade bomb found in Reykjavik dumpster

REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) — Police in Iceland say three men were arrested after a homemade bomb was found in a residential neighborhood of the capital, Reykjavik. The explosives were discovered Tuesday in a dumpster near an apartment building that houses the U.S. ambassador’s residence. The Reykjavik Metropolitan Police force said “there is no evidence to suggest that the case is related to the embassy of a foreign country.” Police said two of the three men arrested were on probation and have been sent back to prison. The third was released. Police did not offer any details on the explosives, or how they were discovered, but said the investigation was continuing.
