Argentina: Interpol goes after bombing suspects

Interpol is considering issuing international arrest warrants at the end of the month to six former Iranian authorities accused of masterminding the 1994 bombing of a Buenos Aires Jewish center. An Interpol press release details that:

“After considering written submissions and oral presentations from both countries’ NCBs, the Executive Committee decided to endorse and adopt the conclusions of the report prepared by Interpol’s Office of Legal Affairs that Red Notices should be issued for the following six individuals: Imad Fayez Mughniyah, Ali Fallahijan, Mohsen Rabbani, Ahmad Reza Asghari, Ahmad Vahidi and Mohsen Rezai.”

Interpol’s decision stopped short of issuing a “Red Notice” against former Iranian president Hashemi Rafsanjani. Iran’s’ government has steadfastly refused being implicated in the bombing which killed eighty-five people.
