Argentina arrests three men suspected of belonging to a terror cell
Associated PressBUENOS AIRES, Argentina — Authorities in Argentina are investigating three men, including a Syrian national, who were detained in Buenos Aires and surrounding areas on suspicion of being part of a terror cell, the government announced Wednesday. The Colombian government said in a statement later Wednesday that it had been notified about the arrest of Chassan Naem Chatay, who since May 2022 has been Colombian by adoption, one of the ways to obtain nationality. Bullrich said that authorities had been on high alert as Buenos Aires hosts the Pan-American Maccabi Games, bringing together thousands of Jewish athletes from different countries, and as the Israel-Hamas war rages on in the Gaza strip. Bullrich said that the three men arrived in Argentina on different flights and that they had booked a hotel “two blocks from the Israeli Embassy.” She added that the suspects were waiting for “a package that came from Yemen,” raising suspicions from authorities.
