The Jewish community called on Argentina’s judiciary to speed up proceedings in the investigation into the bombing of the AMIA building, as the country marked the 32nd anniversary of the attack.
The AMIA, a Jewish community center, was bombed on July 18, 1994, killing 85 people and injuring more than 300.
While Argentine courts and the Jewish community have concluded that the attack was planned by senior Iranian officials and carried out by the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah, no one has been convicted for either orchestrating or carrying out the bombing.
AMIA held its traditional commemoration ceremony on Friday morning, the day before the anniversary. The event was attended by President Javier Milei and his sister, Presidential Secretary Karina Milei. Other government officials were also present, along with United States Ambassador to Argentina Peter Lamelas.
The organization’s president, Osvaldo Armoza, said there had been “no relevant developments” in the investigation over the past year and urged the judiciary to act swiftly to “bring an end to impunity.”
