The JTA reports that the Argentinian government is going to admit mishandling the investigation into the July 1994 bombing of the Jewish community headquarters, and apologize for covering up and destroying critical evidence. The attack on the AMIA building killed 85 and wounded 300. In addition to an apology, secret files from the Argentinian intelligence service, SIDE, will also be turned over to prosecutors.

“This is unprecedented,” AMIA President Abraham Kaul told JTA on Friday. “This is the first time in history that any country will declare itself guilty for not having investigated a terrorist attack properly. They’re also going to blame the ex-president for covering up.”

The apology comes as Argentina revamps its security services and terror laws.
