30 years on from the Argentinian bombing that shocked the world — Jewish Renaissance


I interviewed many of the protagonists who had emerged in the first month of investigations, among others, the then judge Juan José Galeano, the main Argentine suspect Carlos Telleldín, the Jewish community leader Rubén Baraja, the former minister Carlos V Corach, the former vice chancellor Fernando Petrella, the former AMIA president Alberto Crupnicoff, agents of the Argentine secret service, the then prosecutors Eamon Mullen and José Barbaccia; and Diana Wassner, from Memoria Activa, the organisation of victims’ families. I delved into the activities of the late President Carlos Menem and the Iranian and Lebanese suspects.

I also spoke with people who are currently working on the case, such as prosecutor Sebastián Basso. I read the judicial file and its versions, as well as hundreds of pages of documents, many newspaper articles from July and August 1994 and all the previous books about the attack. For each question I had, I usually received two or three diametrically opposed answers.
