SUBJECT: ARGENTINA: JEWISH COMMUNITY LEADERS TELL 
AMBASSADOR THEY WILL PUSH AMIA INVESTIGATION TO GO AFTER 
"LOCAL CONNECTION" 
 
REF: (A) BUENOS AIRES 1598 (B) BUENOS AIRES 1420 AND 
     PREVIOUS 
 
1. (SBU) Summary:  Leaders of the Argentine Jewish Mutual 
Association (AMIA) told the Ambassador November 28 that they 
are satisfied with prosecutor Alberto Nisman's work in going 
after the Iranian authors and perpetrators of the 1994 AMIA 
bombing that killed 85 persons, but they believe he now needs 
to show some results in going after the terrorists' "local 
connection."  They also said they were publicly urging the 
Supreme Court to decide favorably on the admissibility of the 
bulk of evidence produced in the original judicial inquiry. 
On December 1, leaders of the American Jewish Congress (AJC) 
echoed these concerns with the Ambassador and indicated that 
they would raise the issue on December 2 with President 
Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner.  The AJC leaders also 
expressed concern that Venezuela's President Chavez is 
helping Iran establish greater influence in Latin America. 
End summary. 
 
2. (SBU) AMIA Secretary General Julio Schlosser, Vice 
President Angel Barman, and board member Agustin Zbar called 
on the Ambassador November 28 to convey their concern about 
an unsigned diatribe against them that appeared in "Buenos 
Aires Econimco" (BAE) on November 19.  The article 
mischaracterized a November 7 meeting that staffdel Quilter 
had with AMIA representatives (ref A, paras 15 & 16), and 
claimed that AMIA and another Jewish community organization, 
DAIA, were intent on absolving a former judge who is under 
investigation for alleged irregularities in his oversight of 
the first judicial inquiry into the AMIA bombing. 
 
3. (SBU) In the meeting, Schlosser, Barman, and Zbar did not 
dwell on the BAE article.  Instead, they praised the work of 
prosecutor Alberto Nisman in going after the Iranian authors 
and perpetrators of the AMIA bombing, but also urged that he 
show some results in going after the terrorists' "local 
connection."  They said the prosecutor should focus on basic 
questions, such as who purchased the truck that was used in 
the bombing, who had telephone contact with the bombers, and 
who intervened to transfer AMIA's police detail on the day of 
the bombing.  They also questioned the priority the GOA was 
placing on the investigation of the alleged cover-up and 
protection of the "local connection," insisting that former 
DAIA president Ruben Beraja was beyond reproach and had been 
wrongfully charged in the investigation. 
 
4. (SBU) The AMIA leaders also said they were publicly urging 
the Supreme Court to decide favorably on the admissibility of 
the bulk of evidence produced in the original judicial 
inquiry.  They said that if the Supreme Court failed to 
single out the evidence that had been "compromised" and 
instead tossed out all the evidence, that would essentially 
obviate any chance of a successful prosecution. 
 
5. (U) AMIA issued a press release November 27 making points 
that tracked with those outlined above. 
 
Meeting with American Jewish Committee 
-------------------------------------- 
 
6.  (SBU) On December 1, leaders of the American Jewish 
Committee (AJC) echoed these concerns with the Ambassador and 
indicated that they would urge President Cristina Fernandez 
de Kirchner (CFK) to pursue the local connection in the AMIA 
attack more aggressively.  The Ambassador observed that CFK 
views herself as an international human rights defender and 
had continued her husband and former President Nestor 
Kirchner's policy to call on the Iranian government to 
extradite the Iranian suspects of the AMIA attack to 
Argentina.  When asked whether Argentina proactively lobbies 
other countries in Latin America on Iran, poloff noted the 
GOA's recent efforts to weigh in with its neighbors on UN 
General Assembly resolutions sanctioning Iran. 
 
7.  (SBU) AJC leaders also expressed concern that Venezuela's 
President Chavez is helping Iran establish a greater presence 
in Latin America.  They asked whether such efforts were 
gaining ground in Argentina.  The Ambassador stated that 
bilateral relations between Iran and Argentina are 
non-existent.  When asked about Argentine-Iranian trade, he 
explained that Argentina sells soy and other commodities to 
Iran on the open market just like any other country and that 
Iran had been purchasing significantly more recently from 
Argentina.  The AJC leaders said they would also flag their 
concern with GOA leaders.  They clearly did so with Justice 
Minister Anibal Fernandez on December 2, as initial press 
reports out after the meeting quoted him as saying commercial 
trade with Iran would cease.  The Minister's office later 
told the press those reports were incorrect.
