Three separate ceremonies were held in Buenos Aires to commemorate the 1994 attack on the city’s Jewish community center. The separate ceremonies reflect a growing rift in the Argentine Jewish community over how to respond to the government’s inability to bring to justice those responsible for the AMIA bombing, which left 86 dead and some 300 wounded. The Argentine government has also been unable to solve the March 1992 bombing of the Israeli Embassy in Buenos Aires that killed 29 people and left more than 200 injured.
