A Decade Later, Progress in the Case of the Buenos Aires Bombing

In 2004, an Argentine prosecutor named Alberto Nisman began an investigation into Hizballah’s 1994 bombing of the Buenos Aires AMIA Jewish center, which killed 84 people. His much obstructed, yearslong investigation uncovered direct Iranian involvement as well as an effort at the highest levels of the Argentinian government to cover up this involvement. In 2015, Nisman died under highly suspicious circumstances and his death was ruled a suicide. But unlike its predecessors, the current government of Javier Milei is not invested in suppressing Nisman’s findings, and there has at last been a breakthrough. Ben Cohen and Toby Dershowitz write:
