On the morning of 18 July 1994, a van pulled up to the Argentine Israelite Mutual Association (AMIA) headquarters in Buenos Aires. It was packed with what is suspected to be approximately 275 kilograms of fertilizer and TNT. The subsequent explosion destroyed the seven-story building, killed 85 people and wounded 300. The AMIA was a Jewish community institute that included employment services and contained a library of rare books. The facility also hosted meetings for an organization called Project Witness, a group examining Argentine collaboration with Nazis in the aftermath of World War II. The driver, who was killed in the explosion, was tentatively identified as Ibrahim Hussein Berro, a Lebanese citizen with ties to Hezbollah. In May 2013, the General Prosecutor, Alberto Nisman, charged with investigating the bombing, issued an indictment directly implicating Iran in the attack. In early January 2015 he accused then president of Argentina, Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, and other top officials, of covering up Iranian involvement in the AMIA bombing in exchange for lucrative trade deals involving grain and oil with Iran. Days later, and just hours before he was to present lawmakers with evidence implicating Kirchner in obstructing the investigation, Alberto Nisman’s body was found in his apartment with a single gunshot to the head. A pistol was by his side. #history
