(BUENOS AIRES, Argentina) — Argentina’s security minister is confirming that eight gasoline bombs were discovered in an area of the capital where a protest against the G-20 summit is expected later in the day.
A police operation on Friday turned up the rudimentary explosives made from bottles and cloth wicks in a burned and abandoned taxi on the street.
The site is more than 6 miles (10 kilometers) from the place where the summit is taking place.
Security Minister Patricia Bullrich said that despite the find, “a day of peace and without violence is expected.”
