Argentina orders trial in absentia for 10 in 1994 AMIA bombing case
An Argentine judge on Thursday ruled that ten suspects in the 1994 bombing of a Jewish center in Buenos Aires—Argentina’s deadliest attack—must face trial in absentia.
The bombing of the Argentine Israelite Mutual Association (AMIA) killed 85 people and injured over 150.
Those accused include Iran's former intelligence minister Ali Fallahian, former foreign minister Ali Akbar Velayati, former Revolutionary Guard commander Mohsen Rezaee, former ambassador to Argentina Hadi Soleimanpour, and other Iranian embassy staff.
Argentine authorities also named individuals affiliated with Hezbollah.
