Argentina ordered a probe Wednesday into an audiotape that has raised suspicions local police were involved in the March 1992 bombing of the Israeli Embassy in Buenos Aires. On the tape, police officers are heard ordering a patrol car away from the embassy minutes before the explosion occurred. Similar suspicions of police involvement have surfaced in connection with the July 1994 bombing of the AMIA Jewish community center in the Argentine capital. The two bombings, which killed 115 people and left some 500 wounded, remain unsolved.
