INTERPOL SUPPORT ON AMIA CASE
REF: BUENOS AIRES 1685
Classified By: AMBASSADOR E ANTHONY WAYNE FOR REASONS 1.4 (B) AND (D)
1. (C) At a meeting August 27 (septels),Ambassador asked
Argentine Minister of the Interior (MOI) Anibal Fernandez
about the GOA's preparations connected to the AMIA case in
advance of the November Interpol General Assembly Meeting in
Marrakech. (At that meeting, the General Assembly will vote
on the executive committe's recommendation to issue red
notices for five Iranian indictees connected to the atack on
the AMIA Jewish Community Center in Buenos Aires in 1994.)
Fernadez assured the Ambassador that the case remains "very
important" to the GOA, and that the GOA is working "behind
closed doors" to line up support for the Marrakech meeting.
2. (C) He thanked the Ambassador for past USG support and
noted the importance of continued coordination with the
United States, given the large number of governments whose
support is required. He particularly noted the challenges
in building support in Africa, where Argentina has little
diplomatic presence. He said the GOA is working with South
Africa, where it does have an Embassy, to try to build
African support. MOI Fernandez also noted that close ties
between the U.S. Jewish community and AMIA in Argentina have
been helpful to the GOA in pursuing the case.
