Originally Published 2 years ago — by The New York Times
Federal prosecutors in Manhattan have charged Samuel Salman El Reda, a Lebanese man, with helping plan the 1994 bombing of a Jewish community center in Buenos Aires that killed 85 people. El Reda, who remains at large, is accused of being a leader within Hezbollah's Islamic Jihad Organization and orchestrating terrorist activities across South America, Asia, and Lebanon. The attack devastated Argentina's largest Jewish community and no one has been held legally responsible for it. The indictment brings new hope for justice and captures, as it is backed by a U.S. court, corroborating Argentina's claims of Hezbollah's involvement in the bombing.
