LA PAZ, Bolivia (AP) — The defense minister of Iran, whose extradition is sought by neighboring Argentina for the 1994 bombing of a Jewish center, is in Bolivia participating in the dedication of a military academy.

Gen. Ahmad Vahidi is wanted by Buenos Aires as an alleged mastermind of the bombing, which killed 85 people.

Jewish center president Guillermo Borger called on Argentina’s government to file a formal protest with Bolivia.

Bolivia’s defense ministry said in a brief statement that Vahidi arrived Tuesday to help inaugurate a defense academy for members of the leftist ALBA alliance, which includes Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua.

At Argentina’s request, Interpol issued a red notice for Vahidi in 2007, notifying members that Argentina was seeking his arrest.
