Argentine journalist Daniel Santoro on Friday revealed two recordings in which former Argentine Foreign Minister Hector Timerman is heard admitting that Iran’s regime \u201cplanted the bombs\u201d that demolished the AMIA Jewish community center in Buenos Aires in 1994.<\/p>\n
Timerman was speaking with the president of the local Jewish community Guillermo Burger in 2012, when negotiations with Iran’s regime over its responsibility for the terrorist act had just begun.<\/p>\n
Santoro said that during the conversation, revealed in Santoro\u2019s new book ‘Nisman Must Die’, \u201cTimerman pressured members of the AMIA not to release a statement at the start of negotiations with Iran.\u201d
The negotiation was a very dramatic event, Santoro explained, because then President Cristina Fern\u00e1ndez de Kirchner was officially committed to a policy of \u201cwe don\u2019t negotiate with terrorists.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd here\u2019s Timerman, in a conversation, saying he is convinced that it was the Iranians who planted the bomb,\u201d said Santoro, adding, \u201cImagine the irony\u2014so he applied pressure on the Jewish community, in both recordings,\u201d not to mention his words in public, suggesting it would render the talks with the Iranians ineffective. At one point on the tape, after Burger argued that Iran’s regime is not a reliable partner in negotiations, Timerman explodes, \u201cWho do you think we\u2019re negotiating with, Switzerland?\u201d<\/p>\n
Argentina\u2019s new Justice Minister Germ\u00e1n Garavano has already announced that he would not appeal a court decision to annul an agreement with Iran’s regime which absolved Tehran of responsibility for the AMIA atrocity that killed 85 and left 330 wounded.<\/p>\n
Garavano serves in the cabinet of the new president of Argentina, Mauricio Macri, who took office two weeks ago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
