Argentina Set to Trial in Absentia 10 Individuals Linked to 1994 Bombing

In a historic move, an Argentine judge announced on Thursday that ten individuals, including nationals from Iran and Lebanon, will face trial for their alleged involvement in the 1994 bombing of a Buenos Aires Jewish community center. This will mark the first trial of its kind, made possible by a March amendment introduced under President Javier Milei, who has demonstrated strong support for Israel. The amendment allows suspects to be tried in absentia, addressing previous challenges in pursuing justice for this act of terrorism.
