| Iranian Arrested Over Argentina Blast | |
| 2003-08-22 | |
| A former Iranian ambassador to Argentina, wanted in the 1994 bombing of a Jewish community center in Buenos Aires that killed 85 people, was arrested Thursday in England. Yeah, baby! Police in northeast England, arrested Hade Soleimanpour, 47, at his home in Durham on an extradition warrant. Soleimanpour is to appear in court Friday, Metropolitan Police headquarters in London said. The warrant, issued Thursday, alleges that Soleimanpour conspired with others to murder people at the Jewish Community Centre building. The Iranian government has repeatedly denied any responsibility in the attack.
Awh, gee, he doesn’t have any diplomatic immunity. Wot a shame. | |

| #3 Here comes the spittle: TEHRAN, Aug 22 (AFP) - Iran reacted angrily Friday to Britain's arrest of its former envoy to Argentina, saying international arrest warrants issued by a Buenos Aires court over the 1994 bombing of a Jewish cultural centre were illegal. "Argentina should be held politically and legally responsible for this action, which is not in line with international rules," foreign ministry spokesman Hamid-Reza Asefi told AFP. "The Islamic Republic of Iran will follow up the case through the necessary channels to free its citizen, and we will talk to the British and ask them for the necessary explanations," he said. "The Argentine court decision (to issue the warrants) is a political measure with political incentives under the influence of the Zionist regime in order to do it a service," Asefi said, reiterating Iran's longstanding denial of any involvement in the bombing. |

| #2 Probably wondering why he was hiding in their country and not defending his home from America. Student: I don't understand, those imperialistic americans are setting up a empire in his backyard, and he's hiding here? What happened to the noble Jihad? Hint: People die in Jihads, that's why he's not there. |
