Este trabajo tiene por objetivo examinar la presencia de movimientos chiitas radicales en America Latina, algunos de ellos comprometidos en acciones violentas, especialmente en dos zonas geograficas. Primero, en la denominada triple frontera de Argentina, Paraguay y Brasil, presencia vinculada con los atentados contra la embajada de Israel en 1992 y contra la Asociacion Mutual Israelita Argentina en 1994, ambos realizados en Buenos Aires. Segundo, en la zona de la Alianza Bolivariana para las Americas, particularmente en Venezuela, a partir de la existencia del denominado Hezbola Venezuela, de la islamizacion chiita de la tribu wayuu— que habita la zona de la Guajira en la frontera entre Venezuela y Colombia — y su relacion con el Hezbola originario del Libano . Abstract: This article examines the presence of radical Shiite movements in Latin America, some of them characterized by their violent actions, particularly in two geographic areas. One of those areas is the so-called triborder area of Argentina, Paraguay, and Brazil; this is a presence that it is connected with two attacks in Buenos Aires, one against the Israeli embassy in 1992 and the other against the Asociacion Mutual Israelita Argentina in 1994. The second presence is in the area of the Alianza Bolivariana para las Americas, particularly among the Wayuu tribe—people who live in the zone of the Guajira along the border between Venezuela and Colombia.
