“Argentinean Jews ‘feel justice has been served’”
SNIPPET: “Thirteen years ago, Imad Mugniyah planned terror attack at Jewish community center in Buenos Aires. Following Hizbullah leader’s assassination, Jewish Agency emissary says, ‘Wound has yet to heal’”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Eli Cohen, one of the heads of the Jewish Agency delegation to Latin America when the attack took place, said he could remember every detail from the events of that day.
After hearing of Mugniyah’s assassination, Cohen felt that a circle had been closed, but added that he would not feel satisfied until all those who carried out the dreadful terror attacks would be captured.
Cohen, who now serves as a deputy director-general at the Jewish agency, said that “the terror attack was heavy blow to the Jewish community in Buenos Aires. The community building built on the rubble, with the names of the 85 casualties engraved on its wall, reminds everyone of the wound which has yet to heal.”
On July 18, 1994, a loud explosion rocked the center of the Argentinean capital. The seven-story Jewish community building collapsed, burying dozens of people underneath. Thousands of rescue workers and volunteers raced against time in an effort to rescue survivors from the rubble.
“We looked out of the window and saw huge black explosion smoke. Furniture moved, the entire city shook. We understood it happened in a Jewish area,” Zvi Rivkin, head of the Jewish Agency emissary to Argentina told Yedioth Ahronoth at the time.”

“Analysis: The man linking Iran, Syria and Hizbullah”
By DR. BOAZ GANOR
ARTICLE SNIPPETY: “It’s hard to imagine a figure more dangerous, more sophisticated or more experienced than arch-terrorist Imad Mughniyeh. Until his assassination on Wednesday, Mughniyeh served as the mastermind behind Hizbullah’s operations, an elusive figure linked to almost every attack executed by the organization since its inception in the early 1980s.
In fact, it is impossible to name even one large-scale attack executed by Hizbullah that Mughniyeh was not involved in - from airplane hijackings to embassy bombings to kidnappings and more.”

Message to the Congress of the United States
Pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, as amended (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.)(IEEPA), I hereby report that I have issued an Executive Order taking additional steps with respect to the Government of Syria’s continued engagement in certain conduct that formed the basis for the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13338 of May 11, 2004, including but not limited to its efforts to undermine the stabilization and reconstruction of Iraq.
This order will block the property and interests in property of persons determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, after consultation with the Secretary of State, to be responsible for, to have engaged in, to have facilitated, or to have secured improper advantage as a result of, public corruption by senior officials within the Government of Syria. The order also revises a provision in Executive Order 13338 to block the property and interests in property of persons determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, after consultation with the Secretary of State, to be responsible for or otherwise significantly contributing to actions or decisions of the Government of Syria that have the purpose or effect of undermining efforts to stabilize Iraq or of allowing the use of Syrian territory or facilities to undermine efforts to stabilize Iraq.
I delegated to the Secretary of the Treasury the authority to take such actions, after consultation with the Secretary of State, including the promulgation of rules and regulations, and to employ all powers granted to the President by IEEPA as may be necessary to carry out the purposes of my order.
I wish to emphasize, as well, my ongoing concern over the destabilizing role Syria continues to play in Lebanon, including its efforts to obstruct, through intimidation and violence, Lebanon’s democratic processes.
I am enclosing a copy of the Executive Order I have issued.
GEORGE W. BUSH
THE WHITE HOUSE,
February 13, 2008.
