Argentina won't revive joint AMIA probe with Iran
- 8 years ago
Argentina's new government will not appeal a court's decision to strike down a deal with Iran over investigating the 1994 bombing of a Buenos Aires Jewish community center, The Associated Press reports, citing a government source.
The country's new President, Mauricio Macri, who took office on Thursday, is considered to be more pro-Israel than his predecessor, Cristina Fernandez , whose government had signed the agreement with Iran in 2013 and was planning to appeal the ruling.
A government source, who is familiar with the matter but declined to be named, told AP on Friday Buenos Aires would issue on Monday a news release making it clear it accepted the court's decision and would not seek to revive the deal.
