On September 9, 2004 The Washington Post reported, "Thousands of Argentines gathered at the National Congress on Wednesday evening in the latest of a series of demonstrations to protest a court verdict last week that acquitted five men charged in connection with the 1994 bombing of a Jewish community center here. The protest, organized by leaders of Argentina's 300,000-member Jewish community, called for citizens of all religious groups to speak out against the culture of impunity that many say has existed in the country for too long... The July 18, 1994, attack on the headquarters of the Argentine Jewish Mutual Association killed 85 people and injured about 300. It was one of the deadliest attacks on Jews since World War II. On Sept. 2, after a three-year trial, a three-judge panel acquitted the five men, including four provincial police officers, on charges of helping to blow up the community center, known by its Spanish acronym, AMIA. The ruling has angered family members and others close to the case, who complain about the government's inability to prosecute and convict those responsible for the bombing. The acquittal also has raised questions about how President Nestor Kirchner plans to proceed with the politically sensitive case."
