Argentina's request to arrest Iran's Interior Minister Ahmad Vahidi for allegedly being involved in the 1994 bombing of the Buenos Aires Jewish community center was rejected Wednesday by the Middle Eastern country.
Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Nasser Kanaani criticized Argentina for making baseless accusations. However, the ministry did not mention Vahidi's name in the official statement. Kanaani called Argentina's demand illegal, and added it was based on lies and fabrications.
