In 1994, the Argentine-Israelite Mutual Association (AMIA), a Jewish community center in Buenos Aires, was bombed, killing 85 people and wounding hundreds in the country’s worst ever terrorist attack. No one has ever been convicted of the attack, but since the beginning, heavy suspicion has focused on Hezbollah and its patron, Iran. The AMIA attack followed a bombing at the Israeli embassy in Buenos Aires two years earlier, which was claimed by the Hezbollah-allied Islamic Jihad Organization.
