BBC Breaking

A blast has shaken two branches of US-based Citibank in the Argentine capital Buenos Aires, reports say.

Police say one man, a security guard, was killed in one blast which occurred in the bank in the Caballito district.

"There were two artefacts - just one exploded. The second one must have been detonated by the fire squad," Police Chief Francisco Santos Miglino said.

A third blast at another bank in the city was reported but no further details were immediately available.

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina - Homemade bombs exploded in two Buenos Aires banks Wednesday, killing a security guard and shattering windows, police said.
The explosions occurred near ATM machines in branches belonging to Citibank and Banco Galicia, damaging the building's facades, officials said. The explosions occurred before the banks opened to the public.
A 38-year-old security guard was killed at a Citibank branch in downtown Buenos Aires, said Hernan Fernandez, a spokesman for a private ambulance service.
Police also discovered bombs at two other banks that were later detonated, injuring at least one officer, police said.
