Argentina’s government said Wednesday that authorities had arrested three foreigners, citizens of Syria and Lebanon, who were suspected of planning a “terrorist act” in the country.
“We have neutralized the arrival of a possible terrorist cell in the country,” the security ministry wrote on social media.
The three were arrested on December 30, and one of them was found with Venezuelan and Colombian passports in his name.
The other two suspects were linked to “an international shipment of a 35-kilo parcel originating in the Republic of Yemen” that had been tracked by authorities.
