On July 18th 1994, a suicide terrorist drove a pickup truck loaded with explosives into the AMIA Jewish center building in Buenos Aires in Argentina.

 

In the Explosion 85 people were killed and hundreds were wounded.

Different sources, including the heads of the Jewish community in Buenos Aires claim the attack was done by the Hezbollah, a Lebanon based terror organization, funded and supported by Iran.

In the front of the rebuilt building a memorial sign was placed in memory of all those killed. On July 2004 a memorial ceremony was conducted in New York city at the entrance to Central Park.
