Interpol: Second Iranian held for Buenos Aires attack
http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/americas/08/27/argentina.iran.reut/index.html
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (Reuters) - Police in Brussels arrested on Wednesday a second Iranian official facing extradition to Argentina for his alleged role in a 1994 Jewish center bombing that killed 85 people, an Interpol official in Argentina said.

"His name is Saied Baghban. He is among those Judge (Juan Jose) Galeano issued international arrest warrants for on August 13. He is being held in Brussels and he had worked as a diplomatic courier," Inspector Alfredo San Martin of the Interpol office in Buenos Aires told Reuters.

Former Ambassador Hadi Soleimanpour, another of the eight Iranian officials facing extradition, has been in British custody since last Thursday. He was Iran's ambassador in Buenos Aires when the AMIA Jewish community center was attacked.

The United States and Israel have long suspected Iran of being behind the attack, while Tehran has repeatedly denied involvement.

Iran cut economic and cultural ties with Argentina following the diplomat's arrest, and Iranian President Mohammad Khatami said Iran would take "strong action" on the matter.
