| Iran to be named in 1994 Argentinian Bombing |
| 2003-01-20 |
| As the first anniversary of President Bush's "Axis of Evil" speech nears, Iraq and North Korea have warranted their inclusion, but Iran has lain low. Now Argentina's SecretarÃÂa de Inteligencia de Estado (Secretariat of State Intelligence) is about to put Iran back into the bad guys' club. New SIDE boss Miguel Angel Toma has completed a confidential report for federal judge Juan Jose Galeano about the July 18, 1994, bombing of AMIA's (Israel-Argentine Mutual Association) headquarters in Buenos Aires. A total of 85 people died in the attack, and the incident strained Israeli-Argentinian relations for years. Argentine intelligence sources tell UPI that the dramatic report will directly name Hezbollah -- with official Iranian backing -- as the perpetrator of the attack. What is not known is whether Galeano will accept SIDE's conclusions and issue a judicial ruling. Buenos Aires is abuzz that the report will name Iranian government officials and Hezbollah leaders who according to SIDE gave the orders for the bombing. Former Iranian Embassy Cultural Attaché Moshen Rabbani is named in the report as being the architect of the attack. |

| #4 I agree too. I just hope we are helping as much as possible "under the table". It would be far better if Iran went free because of the efforts of it's own people than if we freed them, or even gave them overt help. And that's the only thought that keeps me from parading on the outskirts of anti-war marches with a sign that says "Iran First!" ;) |

| #2 I would think the mullahs will overreact to our attack on Iraq by stopping all reforms and cracking down on the population. Nothing will bring about their fall faster, and we should play little part if any to keep the overthrow/civil war legit |

| #1 After Iraq falls, then Iran can be included officially in our Axis of Evil roster. Getting more than three at a time taxes the average consumer and overwhelms them as to the task at hand. Which is a big one. |
