BUENOS AIRES — An Argentine judicial panel Thursday acquitted all 22 defendants charged in the 1994 bombing of a Jewish community center here, ending a three-year trial rife with irregularities and leaving unanswered the question of who was behind the worst act of anti-Semitic violence on Latin American soil.

The chief defendants were four Buenos Aires provincial police officers and a mechanic linked to the explosives-laden van that destroyed the seven-story Argentine-Israelite Mutual Assn., killing more than 80 people.

The verdict takes the investigation back to the days after the attack, when the van was traced to mechanic Carlos Telleldin, leading to his arrest.

A variety of leads have since suggested the involvement of Iranian officials and an international terrorist cell in Buenos Aires. The three-judge panel trying the defendants called Thursday for an investigation of Juan Jose Galeano, the judge originally assigned to the case, and of two key officials in the government of former President Carlos Menem: Interior Minister Carlos Corach and intelligence chief Hugo Anzorreguy.<snip>
