Its counter-terror police were a step ahead of attacks plotted against several of the 10 HABAD centers in the country, part of a worldwide joint terrorist offensive against ISRAELI and Jewish targets.<br /><br />The three-man cell was captured in the ARGENTINE resort town of SAN CARLOS DE BARILOCHE, 1,680 kilometers from Buenos Aires, a favorite starting-point for ISRAELI backpackers touring PATAGONIA and the ANDES.<br />ARGENTINA'S anti-terrorist FEDERAL SPECIAL OPERATIONS GROUP, known as T4, waylaid the three terrorists on tips from US and ISRAELI intelligence. In their possession were incriminating documents and maps.<br />HABAD hospitality centers and Jewish institutions in the country were then shut down and given extra security guards, as was the ISRAELI embassy in the capital.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhd6AwTQNWcCg4sFh67NFi2sfcUxc7gE2uEYmBf7PTQhvZxfWhmHUimpaa7yPkjS6xeHtOJh3nG4tfNH3cjK4-PkPOWMaiOZ6J4zyHqb6Gz9EvClPZM8NBilEMCSUD86c24_8TJ8yDIO5bp/s1600/Bariloche+Argentina.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhd6AwTQNWcCg4sFh67NFi2sfcUxc7gE2uEYmBf7PTQhvZxfWhmHUimpaa7yPkjS6xeHtOJh3nG4tfNH3cjK4-PkPOWMaiOZ6J4zyHqb6Gz9EvClPZM8NBilEMCSUD86c24_8TJ8yDIO5bp/s200/Bariloche+Argentina.jpg" width="197" /></a></div><br />In 1992, the embassy was attacked by IRANIAN terrorists killing 29 people and injuring 242. DEBKAFILE'S intelligence and counter-terror sources reveal that one of the things the investigation seeks to discover this time is whether the captured IRANIAN-HIZBALLAH cell was given a safe house, guidance and aid by family members of World War II Nazi criminals who won sanctuary in ARGENTINA.<br /><br />At the time of the ISRAELI embassy bombing twenty years ago, the IRANIAN and HIZBALLAH terrorists were suspected of working hand in glove with local pro-Nazi elements.  ARGENTINA, GERMANY and ISRAEL never confirmed this.<br /><br />The terror alert BUENOS AIRES declared this week was also communicated to CHILE, PERU, URUGUAY and MEXICO, in case additional Iranian-Hizballah teams were heading for Israeli and Jewish targets there too.<br /><br />
