Police in Sardinia said they were investigating new bomb warnings today, two days after a tip-off led police to discover and defuse a small device near where Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi is on holiday.

Police in Olbia said they were investigating after a local newspaper received a telephone call at 8:15 p.m. saying there was a bomb at the town's airport.

Police received a separate call earlier in the evening warning of a bomb in Porto Rotondo, but their investigations found nothing. The town is near Berlusconi's villa, where police found a small bomb late on Wednesday, apparently planted by a local leftist group.
