Buenos Aires seeks Interpol’s help to detain Interior Minister Ahmad Vahidi, after a court found Hezbollah was responsible for the attack and that it had acted with directives and financing from Iran.
Argentina is seeking the arrest of Iran’s Interior Minister Ahmad Vahidi for allegedly being one of the perpetrators of the 1994 bombing of a Jewish community center in the capital Buenos Aires. The Argentine Foreign Ministry said in a statement Tuesday that, at its request, Interpol had issued a red notice for Vahidi’s arrest over the bombing of the Argentine Israelite Mutual Association . The red notice says Vahidi is wanted by Argentina for alleged aggravated murder and damages.
The ruling, made by Argentina’s highest criminal court, is final with no room for an appeal, according to CNN en Español. The 1994 attack – the worst in Argentina’s history – killed 85 people and injured about 300. Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani called the ruling a “clumsy measure devoid of any legal and judicial basis” and an ”attempt to create another deviation in the course of the inquiry to discover the truth.
