Two Suspects Of The Buenos Aires Jewish Center Bombing Are Presidential Candidates In Iran
2013-05-26
[MercoPress] Two suspects in the bombing of the AMIA Jewish centre in Buenos Aires are candidates in Iran's presidential election. Mohsen Rezai and Ali Akbar Velayati, who are believed to have planned the 1994 attack, were among the eight candidates approved for the June 14 election by Iran's Guardian Council to succeed Mahmoud Short Round Ahmadinejad.

Rezai is under an international arrest warrant, or red notice, from the Interpol international police agency.

Argentina has accused the Iranian government of criminal masterminding and directing the bombing, which killed 85 and injured 300, and the Leb-based terror group Hezbollah of carrying it out. No arrests have been made in the case.

Six Iranians have been on Interpol's most wanted list since 2007 in connection with the bombing, including the current defence minister, Gen. Ahmed Vahidi.

Iran also is believed to be behind the 1992 boom-mobileing that destroyed the Israeli Embassy in Buenos Aires, killing 29 and injuring 242.

#2  Go to Paris, while still technically a commissioned naval officer, and flirt with the enemy during time of war, work towards their ends, and you get to be a Senator and Secretary of State in America.

#1  Bombing sounds rather extreme. Could their campaigns simply have been hobbled by Iranian Revenue Service (IRS) targeting ?
