The AMIA attack was a bombing on the Asociación Mutual Israelita Argentina (AMIA) in Buenos Aires on July the 18th 1994 that killed 85 people and left hundreds injured. The bombing is known as the deadliest in Argentinean history.
The case has been characterized by incompetence and accusations of cover-ups. In 2005, two Argentinean prosecutors officially accused the Iranian government of directing the attack and the Hezbollah of carrying it out.
Now exactly 20 years later, Thomas Saieg, the vice president of the AMIA, requires the government a new trial to find out what happened and that the people responsible for the attack will be judges in Argentina. He urges the Federal Judge to start looking actively for the Iranian suspects and that the warrants of arrest are not only a formality.
