Iran rejects Argentina 1994 Jewish bombing charges

2006-10-29

TEHRAN -- Iran has rejected as "Zionist propaganda" charges by Argentine prosecutors that Tehran and the Shiite militia Hezbollah were behind the 1994 bombing of a Jewish charities office in Buenos Aires, media reported Friday. "Iran rejects the claims by ... the Argentine prosecutors," Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Mohammad Ali Hosseini was quoted as saying. "The new Zionist propaganda is done with political intentions, and the negative fabrication aims to spread division between the Iranian and Argentinean people," he said.

"It wants to divert the anti-Israeli atmosphere among Argentinean public opinion from the Zionists' aggression against Lebanese and Palestinian people," Hosseini added.

On Wednesday, Argentine prosecutors charged Iran and the Lebanese Shiite militia Hezbollah with the 1994 attack on AMIA (the Argentine Jewish Mutual Association) that killed 85 people and injured 300. They demanded an international arrest warrant for then-Iranian president Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani and six other top Iranian officials at the time of the attack, and a former Hezbollah foreign security service chief, Imad Fayez Moughnieh.

I'd love to see the Argies, or better yet Interpol, get their hands on these rat-bastards but it won't happen.

AMIA, supported by Israel and the United States, had long accused Iran of organizing the attack and getting Hezbollah to carry it out. Those accusations, based on intelligence gathered by the secret services of Argentina, Israel, and the US, have been consistently rejected by the Iranian government and Hezbollah.
