Israeli Embassy Attack In LondonOn July 26, 1994 Eight days after the AMIA Bombing in Argentina, a car bomb exploded outside the Israeli embassy in London, injuring 14 people. The car was packed with 20 to 30 pounds of explosives, and blew up minutes after the driver left it. The Israeli Ambassador and British intelligence experts blamed pro-Iranian extremists, probably linked to Hezbollah. Thirteen hours later a similar car bomb exploded outside a Jewish charity in North London. Two Palestinian science graduates who were educated in Britain, Jawad Botmeh and Samar Alami, were apprehended in 1995, and found guilty of the bombings in 1996. They were sentenced to 20 years in jail, and lost their appeal in 2001. In all, Hezbollah is blamed by Britain, Argentina and Israel for the three terrorist attacks carried out against Jewish and Israeli targets on July 18 and July 28. 96 people were killed and 320 wounded in the attacks.
