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 and Argentina have expressed concern over Mr Vahidi's nomination.
"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.
It means the guy could be arrested if he leaves Iran soil. Israel has been given a reason to show its hate on a gold plate by Ahmadinejad. On purpose I think.

Interesting.
The defense minister should not have to leave Iran.
