Possible Attack Foiled in Buenos Aires Against Fmr. Colombian President Uribe

Coming in off the ticker at the BBC. A possible assassination plot against former Colombian President Alvaro Uribe was foiled as a lamp packed with explosives was confiscated by Argentine authorities.

This comes as an Argentine theatre was evacuated ahead of his visit.

Police sources told Ambito.com that the package was found by the cleaning staff who immediately contacted the emergency services.
"We are trying to verify if it is in fact an explosive device. In that case, it will be destroyed on site," police sources said.

It is not clear if the two are related.
