New York, Sep 26 (DPA) Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad blasted Argentina Friday for seeking the extradition of Iranian Defence Minister General Ahmad Vahidi.

'We want to advise the Argentine government, instead of meeting the interest of a minority of Zionists in Argentina, to seek the interest and benefit for everyone,' Ahmadinejad told a press conference on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York.

Earlier this week at the UN General Assembly, Argentine President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner again demanded the extradition of Vahidi and other Iranian officials accused of involvement in the 1994 Buenos Aires bombing of a Jewish community centre, which killed 85 people. She further complained that one of the suspects had been appointed to a minister post.

Iran has insisted that accusations against Vahidi and other Iranian officials had not been proven by the Argentine judiciary in the last 15 years.
