Argentina court to rule on trial in absentia for Iran/Lebanon AMIA suspects

Argentina's Casación court will decide whether ten Iranian and Lebanese defendants accused in the 1994 AMIA bombing can be tried in absentia. A ruling in favor would set a precedent in Argentine law and allow the long-stalled case to proceed despite the fugitive status of the accused. The decision carries geopolitical weight given Iran's alleged involvement and Argentina's history with the case.
