1994 London Israeli embassy bombing

As it reads on Wikipedia · 1 finding marked in the text · see twenty years of this article's openings

The 1994 London Israeli Embassy bombing was a car bomb attack on the Israeli embassy in Kensington, London, on 26 July 1994. The explosion injured twenty civilians and caused extensive damage to nearby buildings. A second bomb exploded several hours later outside Balfour House in Finchley, which housed the London offices of the United Jewish Israel Appeal (UJIA), injuring six people. Two Palestinian engineers, Samar Alami and Jawad Botmeh, were later convicted of conspiracy to cause explosions in connection with the attacks.

㉓ Reviewed in the sweep
The Israeli embassy in London was car bombed in 1994, eight days after the AMIA bombing in Buenos Aires. Through 2005 the opening said Hezbollah "is blamed by the United Kingdom, Argentina and Israel for the three terrorist attacks carried out against Jewish and Israeli targets." Today's opening says only that the bombing injured twenty civilians and that a second bomb exploded outside a Jewish charity's premises; the word "terror" survives 5 times in the body but not in the opening. A reader today does not learn that three governments blamed Hezbollah for the bombing as an act of terrorism.
