Argentina Identifies Hezbollah Leader Behind 1990s Buenos Aires Bombings

Hussein Ahmad Karaki, linked to multiple attacks, is now the subject of an international arrest request.

Argentina's Defense Minister Patricia Bullrich announced Hussein Ahmad Karaki as the mastermind behind the 1992 Israeli Embassy and 1994 AMIA bombings in Buenos Aires.
Karaki, the head of Hezbollah operations in Latin America, has been operating clandestinely since the 1990s using false identities.
The Argentine government is seeking an Interpol red alert to facilitate Karaki's arrest and extradition, as he currently resides in Lebanon.
Karaki is accused of orchestrating additional attempted terror attacks in Peru, Bolivia, and Brazil, with support from Venezuelan authorities.
The Argentine courts confirmed Iran and Hezbollah's involvement in the bombings, citing geopolitical tensions over nuclear agreements as a possible motive.
