Iran 'minister' on Interpol list Iran's defence minister-designate is on an Interpol "wanted" list over the 1994 bombing of a Jewish centre in Argentina, the agency has confirmed. It says it has had a "red notice" for Ahmad Vahidi since 2007 over the Buenos Aires attack that killed 85 people. Interpol uses red notices to inform its 187 member countries that an arrest warrant has been issued for an individual by a judicial authority. Israel has voiced concern over Mr Vahidi's nomination, reports said. "This is yet another of [Iranian President Mahmoud] Ahmadinejad's actions that prove he is a person you cannot deal with," Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Andy David told Bloomberg. Iranian lawmakers still have to confirm the 21-member cabinent proposed by Mr Ahmadinejad - the declared winner of June's disputed presidential elections. But the nomination of Mr Vahidi is another sign of Mr Ahmadinejad's defiance of the West, the BBC's Caroline Hawley says. AMIA bombing Interpol says that Mr Vahidi has been on its "red notice" list since November 2007. The move to publish the notice for Mr Vahidi - along with five other people - followed a request by the Argentine authorities. Mr Vahidi - who was deputy defence minister during Mr Ahmadinejad's first term in office - is accused of involvement in the bombing of the Israeli-Argentine Mutual Association (AMIA) building in Buenos Aires. It was the worst attack on a Jewish target outside Israel since World War II. Iran has rejected Argentina's allegations. Interpol says it uses "red notices" - or international-wanted persons alerts - to inform its members that an arrest warrant has been issued for an individual by a judicial authorities. Interpol says that the individuals concerned are wanted by national jurisdictions and Interpol's role is to assist national police. It stresses that its notices are not international warrants.
