The bombing of Argentina's Jewish centre killed 85 people and devastated a community. Who did it? Who covered it up? Why?

"I need to understand what no one yet understands: why, after nearly thirty years, there has been no justice." -Javier Sinay

This issue of The Jewish Quarterly delves into the unresolved questions and political intrigue surrounding the AMIA bombing - a terrorist attack that destroyed the Jewish community centre in Buenos Aires in 1994, killing eighty-five people and wounding hundreds.

In a remarkable essay, award-winning Buenos Aires journalist and author Javier Sinay tackles the confounding question of why, in nearly thirty years, none of the perpetrators has ever been brought to justice. Sinay investigates the attack, the failed inquiries, the alleged cover-ups and the mysterious death of prosecutor Alberto Nisman just hours before he was expected to make explosive accusations against the Argentine president.

The issue also includes the late Ian Black on the 1991 Madrid peace conference; Salonica resident Rena Molho on her hometown, the old metropolis of the Diaspora; and book reviews by James McAuley, Samantha Ellis and Mark Glanville.
