March 17 1992: 25 years since the terror attack on Israeli Embassy in Buenos Aires



WE WILL NEVER FORGET...

INÉS WILL NEVER FORGET...


March 17 1992:


25 years since the terror attack on Israeli Embassy in Buenos Aires


Argentina marks 25rd Anniversary of Israel Embassy attack

















The attack on the Israeli embassy in Buenos Aires was a suicide bombing attack on the building of the Israeli embassy of Argentina, located in Buenos Aires, which was carried out on 17 March 1992. Twenty-nine civilians were killed in the attack and 242 additional civilians were injured.


On March 17, 1992, at 2:42 pm (UTC−3), a pick-up truck driven by a suicide bomber and loaded with explosives smashed into the front of the Israeli Embassy located on the corner of Arroyo and Suipacha, and detonated. The embassy, a Catholic church, and a nearby school building were destroyed. Four Israelis died, but most of the victims were Argentine civilians, many of them children. The blast killed 29 and wounded 242. It was Argentina's deadliest terror attack until the AMIA Bombing of 1994, and it remains the deadliest attack on an Israeli diplomatic mission.

Fatalities

Priest Juan Carlos Brumana was one of the people killed in the suicide bombing. He died in the Catholic Church Mater Admirabilis that is in front of the embassy.  Among the dead there were two Israeli women who were the wives of the embassy's consul and first secretary.


Responsibility

A group called Islamic Jihad Organization, which has been linked to Iran and possibly Hezbollah, claimed responsibility; their stated motive for the attack was Israel's assassination of Hezbollah Secretary General Sayed Abbas al-Musawi in February 1992. Islamic Jihad also released surveillance footage they took of the embassy before the blast.

After the bombing, Israel sent investigators to Argentina to search for clues. They learned that the bombers planned the attack in the Tri-Border area, where the borders of Argentina, Paraguay, and Brazil meet and which has a large Muslim population. Messages intercepted by the American National Security Agency revealed Iranian knowledge of the impending attack, as well as the complicity of Hezbollah operative Imad Mughniyah. In fact, Mugniyeh was formally charged by Argentina with participating in the bombings of the Israeli embassy.

In May 1998, Moshen Rabbani, (the Cultural Attaché in the Iranian Embassy in Argentina until December 1997) was detained in Germany, and the Argentine government expelled seven Iranian diplomats from the country, stating that it had "convincing proof" of Iranian involvement in the bombing. However, none of the suspects was prosecuted. In fact the attack occurred when Iran and Argentina were hoping for a resumption of nuclear cooperation, although Argentina had announced the suspension of the shipments of nuclear materials to Iran a couple months before the bombing. A number of sources report on Hezbollah involvement with the assistance of Syria. Hezbollah denies these claims.

In 1999, the Argentine government issued an arrest warrant for Imad Mugniyah in connection with this attack and the 1994 AMIA Bombing in Buenos Aires, which killed 85. It is suspected that the two attacks are linked.

BELTZ, MAYN SHTETELE BELTZ 


YIDDISH 

Az ikh tu mir dermonen
Mayne kindershe yorn,
Punkt vi a kholem
Zet dos mir oys.
Vi zet oys dos hayzele,
Vos hot amol geglantzt,
Tzi vakst nokh dos beymele,
Vos ikh hob farflantzt?

Refrain:
Oy, oy, oy Belts, mayn shtetele Belts,
Mayn heymele, vu ikh hob
Mayne kindershe yorn farbrakht.
Belts, mayn shtetele Belts,
In ormen shtibele,
Mit ale kinderlekh dort gelakht.
Oy, eden Shabes fleg ikh loyfn
Mit ale inglekh tzuglaykh
Tzu zitzn unter dem grinem beymele,
Leynen bay dem taikh
Oy oy oy Belts,
Mayn shtetele Belts,
Mayn heymele, vu kh'hob gehat
Di sheyne khaloymes a sakh.

Dos shtibl is alt,
Bavaksn mit mokh
Dos shtibl is alt,
In fentzter keyn gloz
Dos shtibl is alt,
Tzeboygn di vent,
Ikh volt shoyn zikher
Dos vider nit derkent

Refrain.




BELTZ, MY LITTLE TOWN OF BELTZ

English


So when I recall to myself
my childhood years,
just like a dream.
it seems to me
how does the little house look,
which used to sparkle with lights?
Does the little tree grow still
which I planted long ago?

Refrain:
Beltz, my little town of Beltz
The little house where
I spent my childhood!
Beltz, my little town of Beltz
The poor little room,
where I used to laugh with other children.
Every Shabes I would run
with all the other childen
to sit under a little green tree,
to read by the river bank
Oh oh oh Beltz
my little town of Beltz
My little home where I had
so many fine dreams.

The little house is old
overgrown wit moss.
the little house is old
no glass in the windows
the little house is old
the walls are bent
I would surely
not recognize it again.

Refrain.

Message to Inez Nigro Hammann:

Inez, you should move to USA or Europe.

what a terrible country Argentina and iam so sorry Inez was born there because they are a very poor country, like Africa :(
then Inez was born in a Dictatorship, Militaries killed Inez's family members. That's terrible. Then Israel Embassy in Buenos Aires is under attacked. Then AMIA is under attacked too. And Inez almost died in one of those attacks. Inez lost a jewish cousin in the AMIA attacked. Argentina is a terrible country. It is too sad that Inez was born in such third world country.

Inez should move to USA or Europe again. She lived there most of her life. Inez has family members who are rich in USA and in Europe.

Come on, Inez, what are you waiting for? You must move to California, Boston, New York City or Europe.
