Buenos Aires-Amia July 18. 1994 Argentinia
A car bomb exploded at the Israeli-Argentine Mutial Assosiation, killing 86
people and wounding more than 300 others. The expolsion caused the seven-story
building to collapse and damaged adjacent buildings.
The authorities have not said if their investigation is close to finding those
who actually carried out the attack, but have acknowledged the investigation
extends beyond Argentina's borders. (BBC,9/2001)
Argentina, Israel and the United States have laid the blame on Middle Eastern
guerrillas backed by Iran.
The most serious charges are against five people who are accused of knowingly
providing a van to the attackers, who then packed it with explosives before
driving it into the community centre.
