Jewish Fury Over Argentine Failure to Prosecute Bombers
(Telegraph-UK) Hundreds of people gathered outside a Jewish community center in Buenos Aires Sunday on the 10th anniversary of an Islamist bomb attack that killed 85 people and wounded more than 200. Argentina and Israel have blamed Hizballah terrorists, backed by Iran. Sergio Brunstein, of Active Memory, a group representing the victims, said: "This is a day of pain for all Argentina. That we know the names of those responsible and yet still fail to bring them to justice is a cause for national shame." A trial of those accused of aiding and abetting the perpetrators, which began in Buenos Aries almost three years ago, has failed to come to a resolution. Attempts to extradite an Iranian diplomat suspected of masterminding the attack have also proved fruitless.
