“Wanted Iranians End Visit to Saudi Arabia”

“(1st Add: Includes comments from the Simon Wiesenthal Centre.)”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “(CNSNews.com) - Two top Iranian politicians wanted by Argentina in connection with that country’s deadliest terror attack have ended a visit to Saudi Arabia, and their hosts made no attempt to detain them.

A Jewish human rights and advocacy group which had earlier urged the authorities to act, on Thursday decried what it saw as a lost opportunity to bring the suspects to justice.

One of the two, former Iranian president Hashemi Rafsanjani, shared a platform with King Abdullah during a three-day gathering of Islamic figures in Mecca, and he also met twice with the Saudi monarch, most recently on Tuesday.

On Wednesday, Rafsanjani flew out of the kingdom, after being seen off at the King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah by senior officials, including Mecca regional governor Prince Khalid al-Faisal.

The other wanted Iranian is Mohsen Rezai, the former head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), who accompanied Rafsanjani and was photographed at his side during the visit.

Both men are the subjects of arrest warrants issued by an Argentine judge in late 2006 after a special prosecutor named them as suspects in the 1994 bombing of a Jewish community center in Buenos Aires.

Eighty-five people were killed and hundreds injured in the Argentine-Israel Mutual Association (AMIA) attack, which the prosecutor said was carried out by Hezbollah at Iran’s behest. Iran denies the allegations.”

Ahmadinejad: Iran Now At Nuclear Peak

In a speech in Chaharmahal-Bakhtiari province in central Iran, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said that President Bush’s time was past and that he “cannot hurt even one centimeter of Iranian soil.”

Ahmadinejad added that this year was “the year of enemy plots” and promised that the Iranian nation “will not be silent until it destroys all signs of oppression in the world.”

He also said, “Iran has passed the difficult obstacles and is situated at the nuclear peak.”
