Argentina: Iran is preparing terrorist attacks
The Argentinean prosecutor Alberto Nysman, who heads the investigation of the explosion in the Jewish Cultural Center in Buenos Aires in 1994, accused Iran of creating an underground network in the countries of Latin America for the organization of terrorist attacks and export to the Continent of the Islamic Revolution ideas.
Nisman introduced the Argentine to the authorities of the 500-page report, which states that Iran’s special services-the Ministry of Intelligence and National Security (Vevak ) and the Corps of the Guardians of the Islamic Revolution ( Ksir )-were organized in Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, Chile, Columbia, Gayan, Suriname and Tobago and Tobago and Tobago and Tobago An extensive system of reconnaissance and sabotage residents, the main goal of which is not even the collection of intelligence data, but the preparation and implementation of terrorist attacks. According to the Argentinean prosecutor, who sent copies of his report to almost all the well -known Latin American media, his conclusions are based on countless evidence, testimonies of witnesses and data from individual judicial and police investigations - not only in Latin America, but also in the USA and the European Union.
"We have proven the existence of a debugged decision -making mechanism and planning terrorist attacks by Tehran agents who use Iranian embassies in Venezuela, Ecuador and Bolivia, charitable and cultural centers for their cover," the report author said. Nisman emphasized that Iranian agents act either directly or through the extremist grouping "Hezbollah" , which has a rather greater influence in the countries of the region among the vast Lebanese diasporas.
According to Alberto Nisman, from the beginning of the 1990s to date, the former attache on the cultural relations of the Iranian Embassy in Argentina Mokhsen Rabbani is primarily engaged in the creation of underground cells and the recruiting of potential terrorists.
One of the examples given by the Argentinean prosecutor is the arrest in 2007 in the state of Trinidad and Tobago, on request from the United States, two Gayan citizens who were found guilty of planning explosions at John Kennedy Airport and a pipeline that passes through New York. The main accused in this case, the politician and former mayor of the capital of this country, Georgetown Abdul Kadir, who has Pakistani roots, admitted that he has been an agent of the Iranian Intelligence and National Security Ministry for many years and that he recruited agents in the army and police to fulfill tasks from Tehran. According to Kadir, with the Iranian special services he regularly communicated through the Iranian Embassy in Karakas, as the Venezuelan authorities and the environment of the late President Hugo Chavez knew. Alberto Nisman is convinced that both this case and the attacks invested by him in Buenos Aires in 1992 and 1994 are not separate episodes, but the links of the terrorist system prepared by Iran.
The report of the prosecutor of Alberto Nisman, in which he accuses many senior persons of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the current and former, of coordinating terrorist activity, will certainly lead to the end of the emerging thaw in the relations of Argentina and Iran. Recently, Buenos Aires and Tehran managed, after many years, to agree on the creation of a joint commission to investigate the attack on July 18, 1994 in the capital of Argentina. Then, as a result of the explosion of the mined minibus, at the wheel of which the suicide bomber was sitting, 85 people were killed near the building of the mutual assistance association of Argentine Jews (Amia) and at least 300 were injured. It was the largest terrorist act in the history of Latin America. Two years earlier, the Embassy of Israel was blown up in the Argentine capital - then 29 people died.
It was Alberto Nisman who led the investigation of these terrorist attacks in 2005 - and almost immediately accused the Iranian regime and the Hezbollah group of organizing attacks. As a result, Interpol issued a warrant of several senior Iranian leaders and diplomats - including the former commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Corps of the Islamic Revolution of Mochsen Rezai, who is now a candidate for the president of Iran, and the former Minister of Information and Security of Ali Falaian. In 2009, Nisman accused of indirect involvement in the 1994 explosion even former president of Argentina Carlos Menem, who has Syrian roots, he allegedly tried to take the attention of the investigation from participating in the terrorist attack of his friend, Alberto Kanura Edula.
In January of this year, Argentina and Iran managed to come to an agreement on a joint investigation of terrorist attacks-which, incidentally, caused the indignation of Israel, which demanded explanations from Buenos Aires. The authorities of Argentina then sharply advised the Israeli side not to intervene in the internal affairs of another country. But in February 2013, the Argentine commission led by Alberto Nisman and Judge Rodolfo Corrata was not allowed to arrive in Tehran for the interrogation of suspects and witnesses - the list of which is headed by the former Iranian President Akbar Hashtari Rafsandzhani , former Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Velayati (also presidential candidate) And the already mentioned former head of Ksir Mokhsen Rezai.
Argentina President Kristina Kirshner , who previously warmly welcoming Tehran’s readiness for cooperation, said then that she was extremely disappointed with what had happened - and asked Alberto Nimman to force the conducted investigation.
