Argentina is to compensate the relatives of those killed and wounded in the 1994 bombing of the AMIA Jewish centre in Buenos Aires.

A law passed last week stipulated a one-off benefit for victims' relatives.

The handout is likely to resemble that awarded to victims of Argentina's military dictatorship, whereby 11,000 people received up to $200,000 each.

Since 2006, Argentinian courts have demanded the extradition of eight Iranians in connection with the AMIA bombing, in which 85 were killed, but Tehran denies any involvement.

Foreign Minister Héctor Timerman, who is Jewish, ended his membership of AMIA last week. He said the move was his protest against the Jewish centre's opposition to the 2013 memorandum of understanding he signed with Iran to investigate the 1994 bombing.
