Kirchner is expected to mention Argentina’s probe into alleged Iranian involvement in a deadly attack on a Jewish association in 1994، a leading representative of the Argentine Jewish community told AFP.

However according to AFP, Iran has warned Argentina against joining the enemy camp if Argentine President Nestor Kirchner criticizes Tehran at the UN General Assembly.

This terrorist bombing, which was decided on in a meeting with the presence of Iran’s supreme leader Ali Khamenei and former president Rafsanjani, left 85 dead and 300 injured.

AFP cited a source close to the Argentine Jewish Mutual Association that Kirchner had ’committed to bringing up the matter of the attack’ against the group during his address to the world body

Four relatives of victims from that attack also planned to travel to New York and attend the session with members of the Argentine delegation.

’It will be a strong signal from the Argentine government to the international community that light must be shed and the guilty must be punished،’ the source said.

Judge Rodolfo Canicoba Corral told AFP he had asked the government of Iran as well as Interpol to hand over the former president on a warrant issued for ’crimes against humanity’ in the bombing attack.

“But if Kirchner accuses Iran of wrongdoing، ’numerous countries will understand that Argentina is in favor of war،” the Islamic republic’s ambassador to Buenos Aires Moshen Baharvand told the daily Clarin.

In 2006، an Argentine judge issued an international arrest warrant for Iranian ex-president Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani and other top Iranian officials in connection with the bombing.
