Following the incident, IMF staff immediately evacuated the building and armed military and police guarded the area.

A similar incident was reported on Wednesday when a parcel bomb was sent to the German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schauble. Police had recovered the parcel before it could hurt anyone.
