[December 08, 2011]  BERLIN (AP) -- German authorities say a piece of mail sent to Deutsche Bank chief Josef Ackermann was a fully functional letter bomb capable of exploding.

German prosecutors and police in Hesse state said in a joint statement that a suspicious letter addressed personally to Ackermann and intercepted at the mailroom of the bank's Frankfurt headquarters on Wednesday "involved a fully functional letter bomb."

Authorities gave no further details Thursday, citing an ongoing investigation.
