Argentina seeks arrest of four Lebanese over 1994 Jewish bombing

Argentina on Thursday sought an international arrest warrant for four Lebanese citizens suspected of involvement in the 1994 bomb attack on the AMIA Jewish community centre in Buenos Aires that killed 85 people and injured 300.

A judge granted a prosecutor’s request to seek a warrant from Interpol based on reasonable suspicion that the four were “employees or operational agents” of Hezbollah.

The four are Hussein Mounir Mouzannar, Ali Hussein Abdallah, Farouk Abdul Hay Omairi and Abdallah Salman (aka ‘El Reda’).

They are thought to reside in either Paraguay, Brazil or Beirut.
