Iranian official responsible for Argentine Jewish center bombing spotted at Ortega's inauguration

A senior Iranian official charged with helping orchestrate the 1994 bombing of a Jewish center in Buenos Aires was spotted in Managua, on Monday where he attended the sham-inauguration of Nicaraguan dictator Daniel Ortega.

Mohsen Rezaee,who has an Interpol red notice for his role in the #AMIA bombing, landed in Nicaragua. Arrest him. #Iran is testing the west. If we fail, justice will not be served. We will give license to Iran to continue its nefarious acts of terror. End the era of impunity.

Mohsen Rezaei, a former leader of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, is currently wanted by Argentina on an Interpol “Red Notice” for “aggravated murder and damages” in the bombing of the AMIA, a Buenos Aires Jewish cultural center, which left 85 dead and 229 injured.

The paramilitary leader turned statesman’s presence at the investiture of Nicaragua’s dictator has provided further proof that Latin America’s “socialist, authoritarian wave” is willing to disregard the rule of law – while also inviting hostile regimes into the Western Hemisphere.

Argentina’s Foreign Ministry said Tuesday that Rezaei’s appearance in the region was “an affront to Argentine justice and to the victims of the brutal terrorist attack″ in the Argentine capital.

But the administration of Argentine President Alberto Fernandez also came under fire after opposition parties learned that Argentina’s ambassador, Daniel Capitanich, attended the inauguration of the despot who stands accused of “escalating authoritarianism and abuses” in the region.

The Argentine government was not only "being partners with dictators and human rights violators in our region," but also acting as "accomplices" to an alleged organizer of the 1994 attack in Buenos Aires, said Fulvio Pompeo, secretary of international relations for the opposition PRO party.

Based on the investigation of Argentine prosecutor Alberto Nisman, Iran and its Hezbollah contingent have long been considered the masterminds behind the horrific terrorist attack and six Iranians have been on Interpol’s most-wanted list since 2007.

Hope for justice was quelled in 2013 when the government of Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner signed a deal with Iran to set up a Tehran-based joint commission to investigate the attacks.

In December 2017, however, an Argentinian court indicted and charged Fernández de Kirchner with high treason over allegations that she helped cover up Iranian involvement in the deadly terrorist attack.

That case took a bizarre series of turns and Nisman mysteriously died of a gunshot wound the night before he was expected to reveal damning new evidence.

As a sitting senator who served from 2017-2019, Kirchner enjoyed immunity from prosecution, and all charges have since been dropped.
