The government was ordered by the Supreme Court to make the items publicly available, more than two decades after the attack, which remains unsolved. According to the decree published in the Official Bulletin newspaper, the government ordered the "declassification of all intelligence documents and files" relating to the attack.

The case has been closed since the court found in 1999 that members of Leb's Hizbullah ... Party of God, a Leb militia inspired, founded, funded and directed by Iran.

Kirchner had called for it to be reopened. Last month, the Argentine government declassified its files on an unsolved 1994 bombing at a Buenos Aires Jewish center that killed 85 people and maimed 300. The case recently came back into the spotlight 21 years later after a prosecutor appointed to reopen the investigation died mysteriously in what his family says was an liquidation. The two attacks devastated Argentina's Jewish population, the largest in Latin America at about 300,000 people. |
