Argentine president demanded that Ahmedinejad extradite terrorists from Iran

An important bit of news that may not have appeared anywhere in the MSM stateside, President Kirchner of Argentina called on Ahmedinejad at the UN to extradite terrorists from Iran who were responsible for the bombing of two Jewish centers in Argentina in the early 1990s that murdered at least 100 people. A short translation of the second news clip: the president stated that Iran
“has not offered any of the required cooperation”; “We hope that the Islamic republic of Iran, in the framework of applicable international law, will accept and respect the jurisdiction of Argentine justice”,
Last November, the Argentine federal judge Rodolfo Canicoba Corral, ordered the international capture of eight Iranian citizens for involvement in the bombings of the Israeli embassy and the AMIA Jewish community center in Buenos Aires. One of those Iranian citizens is former president Rafsanjani.

This certainly wasn't reported on the BBC, maybe because Kirchner also took issue with Britain over the Falkland islands.
