The embassy bombing was the first installment in a broader strategy of using terror attacks on Israeli and Jewish civilians to deter Israel from forceful action in Lebanon.
Although Hezbollah's Katyusha rocket attacks into northern Israel during the 1990s were commonly portrayed in the Israeli media as random acts of terror, they frequently came in response to Israeli reprisals in Lebanon.
Although the Israeli pullout earned Nasrallah rapturous acclaim throughout the Arab world, his most striking accomplishment during the 1990s was the transformation of Hezbollah from a secretive revolutionary group despised by most non-Shiites into a major social and political force in Lebanon.

 ARGENTINA, TERRORISM AND COVER-UP
In Middle-Eastern terms, these attacks were meant to announce that Jewish Communities all over the world would be considered legitimate targets in retaliation against Israeli military operations in Southern Lebanon, but for Argentina, it implied the restoration of an even more wicked logic: that of impunity.
Argentina is probably one of the few countries in the world, where the terrorists who demolished the Israeli embassy and the headquarters of a Jewish institution were able to get away with it.
Only if the actual perpetrators of both attacks are found and punished and their local networks with branches within the security forces are put out of action, will Argentina be able to conduct a credible and coherent foreign policy and, hopefully, prevent a third terrorist attack.

 The Seattle Times: Nation & World: Argentine judge issues warrants for Iranians accused in bombing
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — An Argentine judge handed down international arrest warrants Thursday for ex-Iranian President Hashemi Rafsanjani and eight other former Iranian officials in connection with the 1994 bombing of a Jewish cultural center in Buenos Aires that killed 85 and injured more than 200.
That attack was one of two 1990s strikes on Jewish institutions in the capital of Argentina, home of Latin America's largest Jewish community.
The Argentina special prosecutors who sought the arrest of the Iranians said the attack may have been in retribution for Argentina's decision, under U.S. pressure, to end an agreement to provide nuclear technology and materials to Iran.
