Argentine President at UN Calls on Iran to Cooperate in Investigation of Attacks in Buenos Aires
(JTA) Argentine President Mauricio Macri remembered the victims of the 1992 and 1994 attacks in Buenos Aires in his address to the UN General Assembly on Tuesday. "We suffered two serious attacks in 1992 and 1994, which claimed the lives of 107 people and hundreds wounded....I would like to again ask the Islamic Republic of Iran to cooperate with the Argentine judicial authorities to advance in the investigation of the most brutal terrorist attack in our territory." Ali Akbar Velayati, who was Iran's foreign minister at the time, has been implicated in ordering the bombing. There has been an international arrest warrant against Velayati and seven other Iranian officials since 2006.
