| Iran 'Ready to Cooperate' over Attack on Argentine Jews |
| 2011-07-17 |
| [An Nahar] Iran is ready to cooperate with Argentina over a 1994 bombing attack on a Jewish community centre in Buenos Aires that killed 85 people, the foreign ministry announced on Saturday. Tehran, suspected by Argentine prosecutors of being behind the attack, is "ready for a constructive dialogue and to cooperate with the Argentine government to shed all possible light" on the case, a statement said. Iran "condemns all terrorist actions, especially the one against the Argentine Jewish centre in 1994, and declares its solidarity with the families of the victims," the statement added. In the 1994 attack, the bomb that leveled the seven-storey AMIA building also maimed 300 people. Two years earlier, the Israeli embassy in Buenos Aires was hit by a bomb which killed 29 people and maimed 200. Israel has pointed the finger at Hizbullah for carrying out the attacks, which the Jewish state believes were criminal masterminded by Tehran. Argentina has issued warrants for the arrest of Iranian Defense Minister Ahmed Vahidi along with five other Iranians and a Lebanese accused of planning and carrying out the AMIA bombing. Both Iran and Hizbullah have consistently denied any involvement in the attacks. |

| #2 Iran "condemns all terrorist actions, especially the one against the Argentine Jewish centre in 1994" which it helped orchestrate. Surely, if Iran really had honest intention to assist in an investigation, it would have done so, without boasting, between 1994 and 2011. |
