\u201cIran leader names another AMIA bombing suspect as official, angering Argentina,\u201d<\/a> Buenos Aires Times, August 27, 2021.\u00a0\u00a0\u201cArgentina\u2019s government this week condemned the appointment of a second official in new Iran President Ebrahim Raisi\u2019s administration wanted by Interpol in relation to the 1994 bombing of the AMIA Jewish community centre in Buenos Aires. The Foreign Ministry issued a statement expressing Argentina\u2019s \u201cstrongest condemnation\u201d of the approval of former Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps leader Mohsen Rezaei as Iran\u2019s vice-president for economic affairs. The news comes just two weeks after it emerged that Raisi \u2013 who ran against Rezaei in this year\u2019s presidential election \u2013 had nominated Ahmad Vahidi, a former leader of the Quds, the powerful paramilitary arm of the Revolutionary Guard, for the post of interior minister. Both Vahidi and Rezai are wanted for their roles in the 1994 attack on the Argentine Israelite Mutual Association (AMIA) community centre in Once, Buenos Aires City and face outstanding Interpol arrest warrants. According to a 2017 report in the case file, both men were Quds commanders and members of a group that evaluated proposals for the attack. The AMIA bombing, which killed 85 people and left more than 300 injured, is Argentina’s deadliest terrorist attack to date. Twenty-seven years after it occurred, the authors and perpetrators of the crime have still not been jailed. \u00a0On Wednesday, the government described the appointment of the Iranian officials as \u201can affront to the Argentine justice system and the victims of the brutal terrorist attack.\u201d<\/p>\n
