PFA operation. Seven members of a cell planning attacks against Jewish community arrested

The investigation began after a complaint from the DAIA regarding threats

August 16, 2024

Seven suspects were arrested in the last few hours in an anti-terrorist operation carried out by the Argentine Federal Police. According to official information, the arrestees were planning to “carry out separate attacks in Mendoza.”

The procedures were conducted by members of the Anti-Terrorist Investigation Unit of the Argentina Federal Police.

The Ministry of Security reported that “the investigation was initiated by a complaint from the Department of Community Assistance of the DAIA as a result of threats against a journalist in the Jewish community in Mendoza. At the beginning of the investigation, the agents of the Departmental Unit of Anti-Terrorist Investigation of the Superintendent of Federal Investigations first identified a man who carried out attacks and then were able to locate the rest of the radicalized Islamist group.”

The investigation determined that these suspects had actively participated in closed networks of the instant messaging services Telegram and WhatsApp, in which they spread messages with “anti-Christian and anti-Jewish expressions”.

It was also established that in this exchange of messages, there existed the planning of attacks in Mendoza, as well as content connected to terrorist organizations such as the Islamic State and the Taliban Emirate of Afghanistan.

“After carrying out criminal intelligence tasks, and the interdisciplinary work of the separate areas of the PFA, the identification of all the suspects was successful,” stated the Ministry of Security in a press release.

Eight raids were ordered on the members’ residences, and they were detained at the Cristo Redentor border crossing and the International Airport of Ezeiza. As a result, a great quantity of firearms (shotguns, rifles, and revolvers), bladed weapons (knives, daggers, Japanese swords), electronic devices (cell phones, computers, game consoles), were seized, as well as literature of Salafist origin.

The case is being handled by the First Federal Court of Mendoza, headed by Marcelo Garnica with the participation of prosecutor Fernando Alcarez.

  1. Iran was involved in the attack on a Jewish center in 1994 in Argentina. 85 were killed and more than 300 people were injured. They will work with Sunni groups to destroy Jews and the Jewish state just like Hamas in Gaza. Iran is after the whole West eventually.
    For Islam, it’s “First the Saturday people, then the Sunday people”.

  2. Update. Suspects part of a group called “Salafi Brotherhood”, related to the radical Salafi movement that advocates for the world jihad and implementation of sharia law.
    The plan was to bomb a Church and a Synagogue to “kill them all”.
