UK police have arrested Hadi Soleimanpour, the former ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Argentina, in London for his alleged involvement in the deadly bombing of the Jewish community center in Buenos Aires that occurred in 1994. English officials stated that Soleimanpour was apprehended on Thursday in Durham as part of an extradition order for suspects and criminals. He is scheduled to appear before an investigating judge in London on Friday. The arrest warrant indicates that Soleimanpour conspired with others to kill people at the Jewish center in Argentina before or on June 18, 1994. The bombing resulted in the deaths of 85 people and left 200 injured. Earlier this month, an Argentine judge issued an international arrest warrant for Soleimanpour and seven of his accomplices.
