Argentina seeks Iranian ex-minister’s extradition over AMIA attack
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleArgentina asks Singapore and Malaysia Wednesday to extradite a former Iranian foreign minister, whom it accuses of involvement in a 1994 bombing that killed 85 people at Jewish community center.
An investigating judge issues the request after learning that Ali Akbar Velayati, who is on the Interpol wanted list, is on a lecture tour to the two Southeast Asian countries, a judicial source tells AFP.
Argentine investigators accuse Velayati and four other Iranian former officials, including ex-president Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, of orchestrating the July 18, 1994 car bombing at the Argentine Jewish Mutual Association in Buenos Aires.
