Argentina’s highest criminal court has reported a new development in the elusive quest for justice in the country’s deadliest attack in history — the 1994 bombing of a Jewish community center headquarters. It concluded Thursday that Iran had planned the attack and Lebanon’s Hezbollah militant group had executed the plans.

“The significance of these grave human rights violations for the international community as a whole invokes a state’s duty to provide judicial protection,” the ruling said, declaring the bombing of the Argentine Jewish Mutual Aid Association community center a “crime against humanity.”President Milei of cash-strapped Argentina starts another US tour, plans to meet Elon MuskThe court decision came as no shock.
“I would never rule Iran out, it’s certainly on the list of suspects, but let’s do something specific to rule it in,” said Joe Goldman, who co-authored a book about the winding investigations into the Jewish community center attack as well as bombing of the Israeli embassy in Buenos Aires that killed more than 20 people in 1992. “That would be a serious investigation that we haven’t seen.”
On Thursday, the Court of Cassation reduced by two years the six-year sentence of an Argentine judge accused of paying a witness $400,000, and upheld other sentences against former prosecutors.
