Family Affair

Mohsen Rabbani, the indicted mastermind behind 1994 AMIA bombing in Buenos Aires, continues exporting radical Islam from his safe haven in Iran. Over the past weeks, links between Mohsen Rabbani and the Argentine Government have come to light; however there exists a surprisingly unreported relationship between Rabbani and Alberto Nisman’s unresolved murder.

Operating free from Interpol prosecution, Rabbani acts as the spiritual leader of the Oriental Thought Culture Institute located in the Iranian city of Qom. Here he brings Latin American Muslims to indoctrinate them in the Iranian revolutionary branch of Islam, before returning them home to their respective countries in order to spread the ideology. So follows the story of Sheikh Abdul Karim Paz.

The question now is: Who is Sheikh Abdul Karim Paz?

There is very little written about Sheikh Abdul Karim Paz (AKP); however, what is known only leads to more questions. Born into an aristocratic family in Argentina, he converted from Catholicism to Islam in search of a “deeper spiritual connection”. Following his conversion, he was one of a select few chosen to study for five years at the Oriental Thought Culture Institute, Mohsen Rabbani’s facility. Studying along side the likes of Edgardo Ruben “Suhail” Assad, an Argentine Holocaust denier, he became Mohsen Rabbani’s appointed protégé for Latin America.

After his religious indoctrination in Qom, AKP returned to Buenos Aires in 1993 where he succeed Rabbani as the imam for the At-Tahuid mosque. He then briefly moved to Santiago Chile, where he set up the Centro Chileno Islamico de Cultura de Puerto Montt. AKP has since returned to continue his work as the director at the At-Tahuid mosque.

Coincidentally, this mosque is the same location that Alejandro “Yussef” Khalil, the Iranian agent with close ties to the current Argentine government, worked and prayed. In addition to those duties, AKP serves as a representative for the Organización Islámica Argentina, an outwardly pro-Iranian organization. Second only to Mohsen Rabbani’s brother Mohammad Baquer Rabbani Razavi, leader of the largest Islamic recruiting hub in Brazil, AKP has since become one of the most influential Islamic leaders in Latin America. However, most significant of all this information rests in importance of his birth name: Santiago Ricardo Paz Zuberbühler Bullrich.

Historically in Argentina, “Bullrich” is an aristocratic last name. Currently, two individuals who share this surname hold positions in the Argentine government. Esteban Bullrich is the Minister of Education for the capital city of Buenos Aires. Patricia Bullrich, who was once a member of the guerilla movement the Montoneros, is currently head of the Union Para Todos party in congress, and presides over the Criminal Law Committee. It has been reported, and confirmed through ancestry databases, that Sheikh Abdul Karim Paz is a not so distant cousin of both Esteban and Patricia Bullrich. This relationship would not be so worrisome were it not for the fact that Patricia Bullrich was supposed to receive the late Alberto Nisman’s testimony to the Criminal Law Committee. Nisman was going to confirm President Cristina Kirchner’s attempt to hide Iranian involvement in the 1994 AMIA bombings in Buenos Aires, as well as the pardoning of AKP’s mentor: Mohsen Rabbani.

In Patricia Bullrich’s defense, she has been outspoken in attempting to find the culprit; unfortunately, she has defended the Kirchner administration from any wrong doings. Could all of this be coincidence, of course. However, the history of Iranian involvement in Latin American, paired with the aforementioned information only raises more questions that will eventually need to be answered.
