An alleged senior honcho at Iran-backed terror group Hezbollah was federally charged Wednesday with helping plan the deadly 1994 bombing of a Jewish center in Argentina, and spending decades recruiting and training other terrorists.

Samuel Salman El Reda, 58, helped “plan and execute” the truck bombing of the Asociacion Mutual Israelita Argentina building in Buenos Aires — which killed 85 people and wounded hundreds more, court papers unsealed in Manhattan federal court said.

The alleged Hezbollah leader has also been a part of terrorist operations elsewhere in South America, in Asia and in Lebanon — where he’s still based and “remains at large,” the Justice Department said in a press release.

Between 2007 and 2015, El Reda “helped recruit, train and manage” members of the militant group, deploying operatives to Thailand, Panama and Peru to stockpile explosive chemicals and scout locations for potential terrorist attacks, the indictment states.
