The growth in Iranian diplomatic activity has been accompanied by an increase in the evidence of participation by functionaries of the Islamic Republic and members of Hezbollah in terrorist activities throughout the Caribbean, Central America and Mexico. Such was the case of the discovery of the conspiracy to blow-up fuel tanks at the John F. Kennedy airport in New York in 2007 which led to the arrest of an Imam from Trinidad and Tobago and another three individuals belonging to Guyana, all of whom were Shia Muslims. During the trial which took place in the USA, it became clear that the conspirators had kept in contact with Mohsen Rabbani in Iran, who was implicated in the attack against the Israeli-Argentinian Mutual Association Building (AMIA) in Buenos Aires in 1994.
