Iran's new president tied to bombing of Jewish center in Argentina
I didn't think the election of Hasan Rowhani would lead to anything better. Now, this so-called "moderate" Islamist has been exposed as yet another vile criminal (Hat tip: Jihad Watch):
Hasan Rowhani, the president-elect of Iran, was part of a special government task force that plotted in 1994 to bomb a Jewish community center in Buenos Aires, a terrorist attack that ultimately left 85 dead and hundreds wounded.I think it's pretty obvious that Iran's nuclear development won't stop under this new tyrant.
The Washington Free Beacon first reported the connection on Thursday.
Argentine authorities say the Iranian government plotted the bombing while members of Hezbollah actually carried it out. Interpol still maintains a list of ‘most wanted’ Iranians believed to be tied to the attack, Ynet News reported.
A former Iranian intelligence officer who defected in the 1990s said the attack was the brainchild of a special committee tied to the Supreme National Security Council. Mr. Rowhani served as secretary of that council and as a member of the special committee during the formation of the bomb plot, Ynet said.
