AMIA - Inquiry on 1994 Blast at Argentina Jewish Center Gets New Life – NYT
Alexei Barrionuevo reseña para el New York Times las pistas que aún existen acerca de quienes cometieron el atentado en la sede de AMIA en Buenos Aires, el 18 de julio de 1994, dejando 85 muertos y mas de 300 heridos.
Tras años de abandono, la investigación ha sido nuevamente abierta. La Corte Suprema ha validado hallazgos realizados en el primer año de investigaciones y en junio, el juez Rodolfo Canicoba Corral ha ordenado la captura de Samuel Salman El Reda (ciudadano colombiano que vive en el Líbano) acusado de ser quien coordino la célula de Hezbollah que cometió el atentado.

BUENOS AIRES — In the 15 years since the bombing of the Argentine Jewish Mutual Aid Association here, the deadliest terrorist attack in this country’s history, the case has become a symbol of the failings of Argentina’s judicial system.
Despite all the international attention, despite investigative help from Israel and the United States, no one has been convicted for the July 18, 1994, bombing of the community center, in which 85 people died and more than 300 were injured.
“This was clearly a test case,” said José Miguel Vivanco, the Americas director for Human Rights Watch. “And so far it really has not helped to establish any credibility for the justice system in Argentina.”
But suddenly, an investigation that former President Néstor Kirchner called a national disgrace has received new urgency and is again raising hopes among Jewish groups, though significant concerns about the inquiry remain.
