This sort of relatively minor incident tends to be radical leftists or ETA- international terrorists tend to be better organized and more lethal.
OPINION-SPECULATION: I think so too, however jihadi types have threatened Italy before and Italy has tightened up. When that happens, weaker targets might be attacked.

"MADRID, Spain - A small, rudimentary bomb exploded Tuesday outside the Italian Cultural Institute in Barcelona, injuring a policeman and killing a bomb-sniffing dog, the Italian Embassy said."
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "La Rosa described the explosion as small but said he had no details on damage. He said it happened between 8 and 8:15 a.m. He said the policeman was injured and the dog was killed.
"At this point I can't tell you, nor do we think it would be responsible to say it was a terrorist attack," La Rosa said. "I can't say I rule it out or don't rule it out because for the time being we don't have information."
Spanish National Radio said the policeman was only slightly injured."
