Argentine prosecutor warns of Iranian regime terror campaign in South America

NCRI – The Argentine prosecutor leading the probe into the 1994 terrorist bombing of the AMIA Jewish community centre in Buenos Aires has warned that Iranian regime’s terrorists could carry out a similar attack in neighbouring Uruguay.

Alberto Nisman said earlier this month that he had ‘irrefutable proof’ that killers from Tehran carried out the attack.

He has now told Uruguayan newspaper El Pais that terrorist cell of the Iranian regime had infiltrated several South American countries to ‘commit, foster and sponsor terrorist acts’

These terrorists were now established in Paraguay, Uruguay, Chile, Colombia, Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago and Surinam.

Nisman told the newspaper: “I sent my 502-page indictment to a Uruguayan judge for him to investigate, based on our conclusions, to discover if Uruguay could be in danger.

“We don’t know whether those cells are still active or not, but by that date they had established themselves here. These attacks are not planned overnight.”

Mr Nisman said on June 5 that Iran could ‘no longer fool anyone’ that it was not to blame.

He added: “Evidence corners them. It puts them between the devil and the deep. Not a single one of my assertions has been twisted.

“In any other part of the world, the suspects of the bombing would be in prison. In Iran they run for president.”

Nisman said he had documents signed by top officials in Tehran proving the regime planned the bombing on July 18, 1994, which left 85 people dead.

He told a Buenos Aires radio station earlier in June: “I am certain that I have irrefutable proof. Any prosecutor who sat in my office would reach to the same conclusions because that’s where the evidence leads.

He also urged Interpol to ‘take further measures in order to ensure the arrest of all eight defendants in the bombing with an international arrest warrant’.

Argentine courts have charged eight current and former senior Iranian regime officials over the bombing, including Defense Minister Ahmad Vahidi, former president Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, former Intelligence Minister, Ali Fallahian, former commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and current presidential candidate in upcoming sham election, Mohsen Rezai, former cultural attaché in the regime’s embassy in Argentina Mohsen Rabbani, and Ahmad Reza Asghari, the former third secretary in the regime’s embassy in Argentina.
