Buenos Aires, May 4.
Two young Argentine doctors have confessed
to terrorist activities and said they placed three of the score of bombs which have shaken Buenos Aires in the last few weeks, police said here today.
The doctors, Jorge Firmat Lamas and Fran- cisco Juan Maria Elizalde, both 30, were arrested in connection with an attempt to put a bomb in the car of the Argentine Foreign Minister Senor Jeronimo Remorino last Saturday.
Police said they confessed that they placed the bomb which exploded at a railway station minutes after President Juan Peron returned from a trip to Chile on March 2.
They were also said to have admitted placing a bomb at the Army Club on April 25 and one which exploded near Congress while President Peron was delivering his State of the Nation speech on May Day. all the because of this
