2. (U) Argentine federal judge Claudio Bonadio indicted a
dozen persons who had been detained in connection with the
violent attack (reftel) on a May 17 celebration organized by
the city government of Buenos Aires city to mark the 61st

persons injured, including two police officers. The criminal

impose its ideas by force, resisting authority, illegal
possession of arms, flammable material, and false documents.
The charges are aggravated by hate crime provisions. The

the other three be released pending trial. The defense

3. (SBU) Israeli Ambassador Daniel Gazit and Aldo Donzis,
president of the Delegation for Argentine Jewish Associations
(DAIA),the Jewish community's political advocacy
organization, praised the judge for not letting himself be
intimidated by "the menacing pressure of armed, masked
individuals protesting in front of the courthouse."
