AMIA: Prosecutor accuses Iran of infiltrating South American countries

AMIA prosecutor Alberto Nisman

In a 500-page indictment realeased today, the General Prosecutor in the AMIA case, Alberto Nisman, accused the Iranian regime of "infiltrating" several South American countries "by building local clandestine intelligence stations designed to sponsor, foster and execute terrorist attacks, within the principles to export the Islamic revolution.

"Based in countless reports, evidence, testimonies, court and investigative records related to other countries of the region, North America and Europe, including rulings of foreign courts against the Iranian regime, he proved the identical decision-making mechanism, planning and execution of terrorist attacks verified in different countries, which were judicially attributed to Iranian intelligence agents," according to a briefing sent to the media

In this presentation, Nisman was able to corroborate and strengthen with new evidence, the responsibility of the highest authorities of the Islamic Republic of Iran in the AMIA bombing, which cost the life of 85 people, stressing the higher decree of responsibility that Mohsen Rabbani had not only in the attack, but also as a coordinator of the Iranian infiltration in South America.

The document added the prosecution stated the frame and context in which the AMIA bombing occurred, showing that it did not constitute anb isolated event, but a part of a bigger image, dominated by the strong and aggressive Iranian infiltration in the region in which Rabbani did not limit himself to Argentina, but, and based on the gathered evidence, extended his activities to guyana and to several South American countries in his role as a coordinator for the region.

 

 

 

 

 

 

A 500-page indictment released yesterday by an Argentinean prosecutor details a vast effort by Iran to infiltrate South America via “local clandestine intelligence stations designed to sponsor, foster and execute terrorist attacks, within the principles to export the Islamic revolution,” and presents new evidence directly linking the “highest authorities” in Iran to the 1994 bombing of a Jewish center in Buenos Aires that killed 85 people. Argentinean courts have charged eight Iranians – all current and former senior officials – in the AMIA bombing, including two candidates in Iran’s upcoming presidential election. Prosecutor Alberto Nisman outlined espionage bases created by Tehran in more than half a dozen countries, and described the operations of the former Iranian cultural attache in Buenos Aires, Mohsen Rabbani, in creating terror networks in Argentina and several other South American countries. The indictment is expected to draw renewed attention to Iran’s global terror network, which the West and Arab nations fear would be provided a nuclear umbrella should Tehran successfully acquire nuclear weapons.
