Argentina beefs up security measures after row with Iran


    


 

The Argentine government on Thursday stepped up security measures at key
locations in the country, including U.S. and Israel
<http://english.peopledaily.com.cn/data/israel.html> i embassies and Jewish
community centers, in response to a growing diplomatic crisis with Iran
<http://english.peopledaily.com.cn/data/iran.html> . 

President Nestor Kirchner ordered the police and the Intelligence Ministry
to be on the alert for incidents similar to the 1994 bombing, allegedly
plotted by former Iranian president Hashemi Rafsanjani and other
high-ranking Iranian officials. 

There were also measures in the so-called "triple border" where Argentina
<http://english.peopledaily.com.cn/data/argentina.html> , Paraguay
<http://english.peopledaily.com.cn/data/paraguay.html>  and Brazil
<http://english.peopledaily.com.cn/data/brazil.html>  come together, an area
highlighted as a center for Islamic militants by the United
<http://english.peopledaily.com.cn/data/usa.html>  States. 

Iran and Argentina have witnessed tense diplomatic relations since Nov. 9,
when Argentine Federal Judge Rodolfo Canicoba Corral ordered an
international warrant for the arrest of Rafsanjani and eight others on
charges of masterminding the 1994 bombing in the South American country. 

On July 18, 1994, a Jewish cultural center in Buenos Aires was attacked and
reduced to ruins by a suicide bomber. Eighty-five people were killed and 151
were injured in the worst terrorist attack ever on Argentine soil. 

In Tehran, Iran's Attorney General Abdel Samad said Argentina's accusations
were "empty," and responded by issuing an international arrest warrant for
the case's lead prosecutor Alberto Nisman, as well as a former judge in the
case, Juan Jose Galeano.
