BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — An Argentine court has ordered the seizure of property owned by a former cultural attache at Iran's embassy in Buenos Aires who is sought for his alleged role in a 1994 terrorist attack.
A judge has approved prosecutor Alberto Nisman's motion to seize a building owned by Moshen Rabbani due to his alleged role in a bomb explosion that flattened the Israeli Embassy in Buenos Aires and killed 85 people.
The Buenos Aires-based Jewish News Agency says the court's action on Tuesday is part of a survivor's suit for $1 million in damages.
If Rabbani is convicted, his property would be auctioned and the money would go to the victims of the attack. His whereabouts are unknown.
