ARTICLE SNIPPET: “After announcing the assassination, Hizbullah urged its supporters and those of other parties in the opposition March 8 Forces coalition to attend a funeral for Mughniyeh in the southern Beirut suburb of on Thursday afternoon.
The funeral comes on the same day as a mass rally called by the ruling March 14 camp in Downtown Beirut to mark the third anniversary of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri’s assassination. The timing prompted concerns that conflict could break out between large numbers of opposition and government supporters using the same road to travel to the capital from the Bekaa Valley, as well as from the Chouf Mountains and points south.”

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.”
