Pompeo To Meet with Ecuadorian President Moreno on Latest Leg of Latin
American Trip

Cindy Saine

   U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is to meet Saturday with Ecuadorian
   President Lenin Moreno in the capital of Quito as he continues his
   Latin American trip that has so far been dominated by the growing
   threat of terrorism in the Western Hemisphere.

   In Argentina Friday, Pompeo confirmed the U.S. imposed financial
   sanctions against a Hezbollah militant group leader suspected of
   directing a deadly bombing in 1994 of a Jewish community center in
   Buenos Aires that killed 85 people.
   "They were killed by members of a terrorist group, Hezbollah, and had
   help that day from Iran," which provided "logistical support and
   funding through its Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps," Pompeo said at
   an event in Argentina marking the 25th anniversary of the attack.
