Bomb threats at human rights site before Argentine vote
By AFP 1 hour ago .

Police in Argentina evacuated a historically sensitive human rights center after it received bomb threats on Friday, two days before a potentially transformative presidential election.

In other rare incidents linked to Argentina's 1976-1983 military dictatorship, graffiti criticizing alleged corruption in the human rights movement appeared on another historic building in Buenos Aires.

In the first incident, a site once used as a secret prison where atrocities were committed against dissidents received several calls saying there was a bomb in the building, a government source said.

Police evacuated the center and bomb squads searched site but no suspicious object was found, so activities returned to normal after a few hours, a source in the center said.
