The terrorist bombing of the headquarters of the Mutual Israelite-Argentinean Association (AMIA) on July 18, 1994 with its many victims and great material damages caused irreparable harm to society, as did the bombing of the Embassy of Israel that occurred on March 17, 1992.
So far, attemps to identify the perpetrators met with only partial success. Several individuals have been accused of having participated in this crime and brought to trial.
Argentina has engaged to continue this difficult investigation and, to ensure that the judge and the state attorneys who deal with this case should receive all the operational support they might require, a Special Investigating Unit has been created. This Unit is attached to the Department of Justice and Legislative Matters and will process all requests made to the different agencies of the National Executive Branch in matters related to this case and to its investigation.
