Iranians accused in bombing
The week's news at a glance.
Buenos Aires
An Argentine judge has accused four Iranian diplomats of perpetrating the 1994 bombing of a Jewish community center in Buenos Aires. The blast killed 85 people, making it the worst terrorist attack ever in Latin America. Prosecutors had sought arrest warrants for more than a dozen Iranian officials, including the country’s spiritual leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. But the highest-ranking official targeted by Judge Juan José Galeano was a former minister of security and intelligence, Ali Fallahian. Iranian officials dismissed the accusations as lies made up in “Zionist circles.”
