In 1992, the Israeli Embassy in Buenos Aires was attacked with a car bomb, killing 29 people. Two years later, an explosives-laden truck blew up outside the AMIA Jewish community center, killing 85 people.<\/p>\n<p>Argentine courts have blamed the attack on Iran. But no one has been brought to trial in either case. Iran denies playing a role in either attack.<\/p>\n<p>In the United States, New York City, another frequent target of attacks, was bracing for Iranian retaliation with police on heightened alert, but officials saw no imminent threats.<\/p>\n<header>\n<h3 class=\"title\">Top Comments<\/h3>\n<p>                Disclaimer  comment rules<br \/>\n            <\/header>\n<ul class=\"comments-list\">\n<li class=\"comment\" id=\"comment506054\">\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wordpressdynamos.com\/timesofnewscdn\/USA\/052e1_1-image.jpg\" \/><\/figure>\n<p><span class=\"name\">Chicureo<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"comment-content\">A news item in the New York Times questions the suicide of an alleged mastermind of a terrorist attack in Buenos Aires.

When thieves stole an anti-tank missile from an army regiment and his answer was \u0093that missile alone cannot be fired.\u0094 Clearly, a moron put in that role just to collect the salary.<\/p>\n<p>\nHis latest statements about the Super Etendard driver seats clearly speaks about how little he is interested in defending the country.<\/p>\n<p>\nIslanders, with this minister you can peacefully sleep.
