A leading Argentine daily newspaper, El Siglo, denounced today an Arab League agent, Hussein Triki, and charged that he was working closely with key anti-Semitic and nationalist groups in the country.
At the same time, the DAIA, central representative body of Argentine Jewry, send a letter to Interior Minister Juan Palmero, charging Triki with using the canards of the notorious Protocols of the Elders of Zion in his anti-Jewish campaign in Argentina. The letter also declared that Arab League agents were seeking to convert Argentina into “a battlefield for Middle East problems and trying to impose the Arab League boycott on Argentine firms.”
El Siglo asserted that recent statements made by Triki in reply to charges that he sponsored anti-Semitic terrorism in Argentina had provoked a “great impact” in all newspapers and news agencies. The daily reported that Argentine Foreign Ministry sources indicated that the Ministry was worried about the Arab League representative’s activities.
