Twelve people are currently being held for attacking at the home of an Argentine judge and in a historic cemetery just days before the G20 summit in Buenos Aires.

President Mauricio Macri told Radio Don de La Pampa that the perpetrators of the attacks in the capital, identified by the authorities as anarchists, "will pay the consequences".

"We will act with all the weight of the law," he said.

The attacks have caused great concern among the government, because Buenos Aires will be the scene of the G20 summit that will gather on November 30 and December 1 US President Donald Trump, as well as other leaders of powers and emerging countries.

The artifact that exploded in the Recoleta cemetery, a place visited by many tourists, caused serious injury to the woman who allegedly manipulated the bomb with an accomplice. The explosion occurred in front of the mausoleum of the former chief of police, Ramón Falcón, assassinated by an anarchist during an attack on November 14, 1909.

The woman suffered amputation of several fingers and severe facial injuries. She is in a coma at the hospital. His partner is arrested.

A few hours later, a man threw a bag containing explosive elements behind the gate of the front access to the house of Federal Judge Claudio Bonadío, who investigates the sensitive causes of corruption and has a strong custody at home who could catch the perpetrator of the attack while he was trying to flee. The device was triggered by explosives specialists.

Security Minister Patricia Bullrich indicated that there is an "absolute" link between the two facts "By people of the same anarchist orientation" who reside in a house in Buenos Aires where the police seized "equipment of the same type that exploded".

For his part, the Minister of Justice, Germán Garavano, said the government would "double the alerts" about security after the two attacks.

In the house that was raided by police on Thursday night, where 10 people were arrested, they were painted anarchists and equipment to make homemade bombs.

"We've kidnapped wicks, gunpowder, pipes, grinders and nails – the state and the city of Buenos Aires will not let that happen as a single fact, we'll work as much as we need" to avoid these incidents, told the press Néstor Roncaglia, head of the federal police.
