| Interpol got approval on Wednesday to issue red notices for five Iranians and one Lebanese member of Lebanon's Hezbollah militia in connection with the 1994 bombing of a Jewish centre in Argentina in which 85 people were killed. Despite heavy diplomatic pressure from Iran, delegates at the world police body's annual general assembly in Morocco ( pictured top right) voted by 66 percent in favor of issuing the "Red Notices" seeking the extradition of the wanted people, delegates said. Argentina last year ordered an international warrant for the arrest of former Iranian President Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani and eight other Iranians on charges of masterminding the attack. Interpol said in March it would issue its own wanted notices against six people, leaving out Rafsanjani. |
