epa02927797 (FILE)?A file photo dated 11 September 2011 shows the store of furniture chain Ikea in Dresden,?Germany. The vice-spokeswoman of the company, Camilla Meiby, confirmed to the dpa news agency in Helsingborg on 21 September 2011 that a person is threatening the company. According to the spokeswoman, the company is working in cooperation with the police in many countries, because the threats of the blackmailer are not concentrated to one country but against Ikea in general. On 11 September 2011, an explosive device detonated in the Dresden Ikea lightly injuring two customers. Previously, there had been been similar attacks at Ikea stores in Belgium, France and the Netherlands. EPA/MARKO?FOERSTER
