An Argentine judge has ordered the trial in absentia for 10 Iranian and Lebanese suspects in the 1994 bombing of Buenos Aires’ Jewish community centre, which killed 85. Acknowledging the unusual nature of this decision, Judge Daniel Rafecas stated that it aims to explore the truth about the historical attack linked to Hezbollah and Iranian officials. Despite issuing international arrest warrants for years, no arrests have been made, as Iran denies involvement. This ruling represents Argentina's renewed commitment to seeking justice for this long-ignored attack.
Judge Daniel Rafecas emphasized that trying the 10 Iranian and Lebanese suspects in absentia was necessary to uncover the truth of the 1994 bombing.
Argentina has long sought the arrest of the eight Iranians linked to the AMIA bombing yet has faced resistance from Iran, which denies all involvement.
