Gen Vahidi allegedly organised Argentina's worst terrorist attack
"Iran's nomination for defence minister is likely to be approved despite being linked to a bombing in Argentina, an influential politician has said.
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad nominated Gen Ahmad Vahidi - even though he is wanted by Interpol for the 1994 attack on a Jewish centre that left 85 dead.
Iran's foreign policy committee chairman, Alaeddin Boroujerdi, said the allegations may increase his support.
Iran accused Argentina of "meddling" after it condemned the nomination.
Gen Vahidi is one of five Iranians sought by Argentina over the bombing in Buenos Aires - the worst terrorist attack in the country's history.
At the time he commanded the Quds Force, a unit of the Revolutionary Guard responsible for foreign operations." BBC (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/8217372.stm)
