    SUBJECT: REACTION IN ARGENTINA TO POSITIVE NOVEMBER 7
    INTERPOL VOTE ON AMIA TERROR CASE

    Classified By: DCM Tom Kelly for reasons 1.4 (b) and (d).

    ¶1. (C) Summary:  Argentine officials, Jewish organizations,
    and private citizens lauded the Interpol
    General Assembly's (GA) overwhelming vote for the issuance of
    international capture notices for five current and former
    Iranian government officials and one Lebanese Hizballah
    member wanted in connection with the 1994 terrorist bombing
    of the Argentine-Israeli Mutual Association (AMIA).  The
    Foreign Ministry stated that ""the decision confirms the
    overriding support shown by the international community in
    helping Argentina's Justice System shed light on this
    terrible crime.""  Behind the scenes, the Argentine MFA went
    out of its way to thank the USG.  The Acting Foreign Minister
    called the Ambassador to express appreciation for U.S.
    assistance.  Ambassador Wayne's public comments, based on
    Washington-cleared guidance, received wide coverage.

    ¶2. (C) As far as we are aware, the only other governments to
    issue statements in the wake of the vote are Israel and Iran.
     While the country votes in the GA are secret, Brazil
    informed Argentina prior to the November 7 vote that it would
    abstain (reported in the press), angering the Argentines.
    Venezuela did not send a delegation to Marrakech, with press
    speculation here that this may have been to avoid having to
    choose between Iran and Argentina.  End Summary.

    Argentine MFA Euphoric, Grateful to USG
    ---------------------------------------

    ¶3. (SBU) Argentine official comments, press reports and
    statements from Jewish leaders and organizations uniformly
    applauded the decisive vote November 7 in Marrakech at the
    Interpol General Assembly to support the Executive
    Committee's decision to issue international capture notices
    for five current and former Iranian government officials and
    one senior Lebanese Hizballah member wanted in connection
    with the 1994 terrorist bombing of the Argentine-Israeli
    Mutual Association (AMIA).  The Foreign Ministry's public
    statement highlighted the strong GA vote in favor of issuing
    the capture notices -- 78 for, 14 against, 26 abstentions --
    and noted that the decision reflected the strength of
    international support for Argentina on this issue.  AMIA's
    president, Aldo Donzis, characterized the vote as ""one more
    step towards the truth.""

    ¶4. (C) Acting Foreign Minister Roberto Garcia Moritan called
    the Ambassador the day after the vote to express the deep
    appreciation of Minister Taiana (who is at the Ibero-American
    Summit in Chile) and himself for U.S. support.  ""Without the
    help and friendship of the United States, things could easily
    have turned out much differently,"" he said.  On the same day,
    GOA Special Prosecutor Alberto Nisman called Legatt from
    Marrakech to convey a similarly appreciative message
    concerning the USG's support.  He was elated at the outcome,
    and attributed it to the support and guidance we provided
    over the past two years.

    GOA Fuming Over Brazil's Abstention
    -----------------------------------

    ¶5. (C) Even during their celebration, the Argentines were in
    high dudgeon about what they regard as Brazil's betrayal at
    the General Assembly.  MFA sources tell us that they received
    a diplomatic note from Brazil on the day of the vote
    announcing that the GOB would abstain.  The MFA's draft
    post-vote press release included a thinly veiled slap at
    Brazil, thanking ""those countries that had understood the
    true impact and consequence of this sad situation, and had
    shown this by concrete action through their votes.""  Foreign
    Minister Taiana deleted the line, MFA sources tell us.

    ¶6. (SBU) But the MFA made sure that their displeasure became
    public.  They backgrounded the press about the diplomatic
    note to ensure that the story was widely reported.  The press
    articles contained speculation (which we have heard directly
    from GOA figures like Nisman) that the abstention reflected
    the GOB's supposed desire not to further entangle the

    triborder area (TBA) in the AMIA case. (The investigation
    shows that the suicide bomber traveled through the TBA,
    likely receiving material and logistical support from
    individuals there.)  In an email to the DCM, a well-connected
    MFA source wrote that ""the position of Brazil on this issue
    really bothers us, especially considering its aspirations to
    represent us regionally in the UN.""

    Few Statements by Other Countries, and Nothing More Expected
    --------------------------------------------- ---------------

    ¶7. (SBU) Israel and Iran are the only other governments that
    made statements after the vote, insofar as we are aware.
    Israel's ambassador to Argentina was quoted here voicing
    Israel's strong support for Argentina's cause, and noting
    that the Marrakech vote clearly identifies Iran as a state
    sponsor of terrorism.  The Iranian charge d'affaires, Mohsen
    Baharvand, stressed that the Interpol decision was a
    procedural step, not a judgment on the merits of the case.
    He claimed that ""Argentina had two options: accept our
    cooperation to really get to the truth or resort to Interpol,
    and it chose Interpol.""  Press reports also include Tehran's
    condemnation of the Interpol vote, claiming that Israel and
    U.S. had pressured Interpol and were politicizing the
    institution.

    ¶8.  (SBU) An MFA source told DCM November 8 that the GOA did
    not intend to elicit statements of support on the matter from
    other governments, even within Latin America.  He said that
    the MFA was worried that such a campaign would place some
    Latin American governments (e.g., Ecuador) that voted with
    Argentina in an uncomfortable position.  DCM asked whether
    the GOA would use this week's Ibero-American Summit to
    discuss the case; he replied that he did not expect so.  The
    Ambassador told the Acting Foreign Minister that we looked
    forward to discussing next steps with the GOA.

    Bolivarian Solidarity?
    ----------------------

    ¶9.  (SBU)  Some press reports also noted that Venezuela chose
    not to send a delegation to Marrakech.  The press attributed
    this as a conscious decision by Caracas to avoid choosing
    between Iran and the Kirchner government.  We have heard
    similar speculation from the MFA, which was relieved by the
    BRV's absence from the Marrakech meeting.

    U.S. Embassy Statement
    ----------------------

    ¶10. (SBU) Embassy released the Washington-cleared statement
    of support late afternoon November 7, which included the
    Ambassador's comment that ""we support the Argentine judicial
    system's actions to bring the perpetrators of this attack to
    justice, and applaud the efforts by Argentine authorities to
    support that objective.""  It received wide coverage today.

    WAYNE
