Argentina, victim in the 1990s of huge deadly bombings against Israeli and Jewish centres, has said foreign intelligence services have warned of a possible attack in the South American nation.

"Yesterday (Tuesday), we received information from national intelligence services and two foreign intelligence services that Argentina could face some kind of attack," Defence Minister Jose Pampuro told local radio today.
Pampuro gave few details but the leading Clarinnewspaper quoted an unnamed government official as saying that intelligence services had warned of an attack against "US, British, Italian or Israeli interests."
