BUENOS AIRES—Argentina’s military and federal police scrambled to secure the presidential palace in Buenos Aires on May 13 after a bomb threat made while President Mauricio Macri was in the building, just hours after a man was arrested trying to enter with a gun.
The threat against Casa Rosada was made via a phone call in which a person indicated a plan to put a bomb inside a car, the office of Argentina’s Secretary General told Reuters.
