SNIPPET: “Lifschitz’s attorney told the C5N television station that on Friday night, at around midnight, a passing car forced his client to pull over in Buenos Aires’ Villa Devoto neighborhood. He was then whisked away by unknown assailants, the attorney said.
According to Lifschitz, the kidnappers covered his head with a garbage bag, and, using a blowtorch, tattooed the case file number on his arm and the letters A-M-I-A on his back.
“A van passed me by and hooded men stepped out of it,” he recalled. “They forced me to climb into their vehicle, placed a garbage bag over my head and told me not to mess with SIDE (the Argentinean internal security service). They questioned me a number of times about tapes that tie Iran to the terror attack. They told me ‘you can relax, we won’t murder you. You’ll live until we decide otherwise’.”
After taking away his cell phone, the assailants released Lifschitz near the police academy building in the capital.”
Note: Mugniyah is dead.

So was he kidnapped from his home, or from his car when he was driving? And did the kidnappers think he was covering up for somebody, or were they worried that some of what he knew would somehow implicate them? I hadn’t heard about the investigation of the ‘94 bombing for a long time and may just be not up to speed.
