Argentina and Iran begin talks on the bombings of 1992 1994; next round Geneva
Argentine Foreign Minister Héctor Timerman met with his Iranian counterpart Ali Akbar Salehi at the United Nations headquarters in New York, and announced that they decided to continue negotiations through government officials from both ministries in Geneva next month.
Joined by Argentine Deputy Foreign Minister Eduardo Zuain and the Iranian General Director for American Affairs Reza Zabib, both officials agreed to continue negotiations at the UN office in Geneva next month in order to explore a legal mechanism that is not at odds with the Argentine or Iranian legal systems.
They also decided that “this process will not be interrupted until they both find a mutually agreed solution to all matters related to the AMIA case”.
On Tuesday during the address to the UN General Assembly, President Cristina Fernandez announced that Argentina and Iran will meet to discuss the two bombings of Jewish targets in the 1990's, attacks in which Iran was accused by Argentine courts of playing a role.
She said the discussions would take place at the foreign ministry level on the sidelines of the annual gathering of UN member states, but “I must tell you I expect results from this meeting”.
Argentine courts have accused Iran of sponsoring a 1994 attack on a Buenos Aires Jewish centre that killed 85 people. In 1992 the Israeli embassy was blasted to the ground.

“ No , it was organized by Menem , after all he is of Syrian descent and the scapegoat for everything that ever went wrong in Argentina ”

They are ready!
I'm pretty sure Mossad have a few ideas beyond bomb bomb Iran.
Argentina certainly deserves justice for the bombings, they need to be punished severely for fomenting Islamic terrorism on their own territory and causing the death of their own citizens. Give it up BK, you are a failure as a troll and as a human being, take up yoga and learn to suck your own dick, that should keep you busy!
Hmmm
Israel supplied you with weapons to use in the Falklands war, but I can't see them supporting you now.
You are getting desperate for friends in the world despite Argentina's repeated claims that all the world supports Argentina.
Loosing Israal as one of your mates isn't a good idea-wonder if that's why they are investing in Falklands hydrocarbons?
What's the betting Repsol will be on board next?
Where's Bin Laden now?
