238. On the other hand, the prosecutors listed a series of telephone communications that would have been made between mosques located in the city of Foz do Iguaçu and an address in the city of Beirut that belonged to a person identified as Ahmad Ali Berro. The Commission underscores on this point that the prosecutors clarified that they had not been able to assure with "certainty about the possible degree of connection" of this person to Ibrahim Hussein Berro235. 239. Additionally, the report documents the information obtained from a testimonial statement taken from two of Ibrahim Berro's brothers who resided in the United States. Berro's brothers affirmed, first, that Ibrahim used to be absent from the family home "for long periods, between two and three months, and that at the time his family received the news of his death, he had not been home for a considerable time” 236. Secondly, they assured that the leader of Hezbollah attended the funeral ceremony for the death of Ibrahim, an organization that "had reported that Ibrahim died in combat with Israeli troops in southern Lebanon, without his body being recovered”237 240. Prosecutors assessed the results of a comparative expert opinion carried out between two photographs of Berro delivered by his brothers and the identikit built 72 hours after the attack based on the testimony of the witness Nicolasa Romero, who claimed to have seen the face of the driver of a Renault Trafic van driving down Pasteur street moments before the explosion. This expert opinion revealed "specific coincidences indicated in the eyes, nose, contour of the face, hairline, and eyebrows”238. Likewise, the prosecutors mention the photographic recognition carried out by the witness Romero, who "after her initial doubts and after being presented with the identikit" singled out from among a series of 4 photographs the one that corresponded to Berro and affirmed "that the person 'He was a big guy like this, of this build, with big brows, I see a similarity in his face, he has abundant eyebrows, the texture of his face is similar ...”239. 241. It was not until a management report corresponding to the month of July 2017, that the UFI AMIA reported carrying out a genetic comparison test of all the samples on file which revealed the “verification of a genetic profile from of the material reserved in the PFA laboratory that does not correspond to any of the known victims”240, a finding that would support, in principle, the hypothesis that the Trafic van that exploded in front of the AMIA was driven by a suicide bomber. 242. In the same management report, the UFI AMIA described the process through which - with the collaboration of the authorities of the United States of America - the genetic profile of the sample found in the Chemical Laboratory Division of the PFA was compared with the genetic profile of one of Berro's brothers. In November 2017, according to the aforementioned report, the FBI reported that “after typing the autosomal STR, Y-STR and mitochondrial DNA of the alleged attacker's brother and carrying out the comparison with the genetic profile obtained from the sample recovered from the PFA Chemical Laboratory, it was determined that the latter 'could not have originated from a paternal or maternal relative […] to include a brother or halfbrother'”241. - Commission’s Considerations 243. The Commission observes, first, that a large part of the investigation of the AMIA case and, in particular, that which refers to the determination of the identity of the person who would have immolated themselves is based on intelligence reports made by the Secretary of Intelligence of the State or other Argentine intelligence organisms. In this regard, the Commission considers it pertinent to make the following considerations. Annex 5. UFI AMIA 2006 Report p. 704. Annex 12 to the petitioners' communication dated November 11, 2019.
