Ahead of the 29th anniversary of the worst terrorist attack in Latin American history, which left 85 people dead and hundreds wounded at a Jewish community center in Buenos Aires, a B’nai B’rith International podcast episode published on Monday focused on the man some describe as the Iran-sponsored bombing’s 86th victim — Argentine prosecutor Alberto Nisman.
Nisman, who was the AMIA case prosecutor for a decade, was murdered in 2015, the day before he was to present his findings about a murky deal that the Argentine government had signed with Iran.
On July 18, 1994, a van loaded with explosives blew up the Argentine Israelite Mutual Association (AMIA) building in an attack widely believed to have been carried out by Hezbollah terrorists, working at the behest of the Tehran regime. To this day, no one has been brought to justice.
In the podcast, “Conversations with B’nai B’rith,” Director of Latin American Affairs Eduardo Kohn and Special Advisor on Latin American and United Nations Affairs Adriana Camisar, interview writer and journalist Delia Sisro, one of the producers of a new documentary on Nisman.
Since the bombing, B’nai B’rith International has worked tirelessly, in Argentina and on the world stage, to help bring to justice those responsible.
