Argentine justice blamed Iran for the bombings in Buenos Aires in 1992 . and 1994, committed against the Jewish community, reported France Press, quoted by BTA.
According to justice, the attacks on the Israeli embassy in 1992 and on a Jewish center in Buenos Aires in 1994 were ordered by Iran. This decision was defined as historic by the local Jewish community.
The decision is of the Federal Cassation Criminal Chamber. In it, moreover, the Lebanese Shiite movement "Hezbollah" identified as the perpetrator of the attacks. In the decision, Iran was declared a "terrorist state" and the attack on the Jewish center was called a "crime against humanity".
"Hezbollah" carried out an operation that corresponds to a political, ideological, revolutionary and government- and state-ordered design," said Judge Carlos Maiques, one of the three magistrates who announced the court decision.
The two attacks against the Jewish community in Argentina claimed the lives of 29 and 85 people, respectively.
However, another court decision said that the motives for the two crimes were partly rooted in the foreign policy led by Peronist President Carlos Menem (1989-1999). At the root of the attacks was the government's unilateral decision, motivated by a change in the country's foreign policy from late 1991 and mid-1992, to cancel three contracts for the supply of nuclear raw materials and technology concluded with Iran.
According to representatives of local Jewish associations, the court's decision creates the possibility of an appeal through the International Criminal Court, because it clearly establishes that the Iranian state is a terrorist state.
