NEW YORK (JTA) -- Argentina’s president called for the extradition to her country of Iranian officials wanted in the 1994 bombing of the Buenos Aires Jewish center.

The bombing was allegedly carried out by Hezbollah agents with Iranian sponsorship and organization, but Argentina has not been able to bring anyone to justice for perpetrating the attack.
