Former Interpol Chief Says Argentina Bungled Investigation of ’94 Attack<br />"If Judge Bonadio were interested in the truth, he could have contacted Interpol’s former general counsel." Judge Bonadio suggested in his ruling<br />that Mr. Noble might have enabled Mrs. Kirchner because the former Interpol chief had a "close relationship" with former Foreign Minister Héctor Timerman, who was also charged with treason in the case last week.<br />Adding to the intrigue surrounding the bombing investigation, the Argentine press earlier this week published a Nov. 4 letter from Iran’s foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, to his Argentine counterpart, in which Mr. Zarif confirmed<br />that the two countries had, in fact, asked Interpol to pull red notices linked to the AMIA case.<br />Mr. Noble said he was baffled that Judge Bonadio did not bother to track him down before accusing him in a criminal proceeding of abetting a secret<br />deal to get international fugitive records, known as red notices, rescinded as part of an effort to mend ties between Argentina and Iran.<br />The judge made another startling claim: He asserted<br />that Ronald K. Noble, an American and a former New York University law professor who led the International Criminal Police Organization, known as Interpol, from 2000 to 2014, was in on the cover-up.<br />" Mr. Noble, 61, wrote. that There is no evidence to support Judge Bonadio’s conclusion<br />that there existed some kind of secret agreement between Argentina and Interpol to remove the AMIA red notices,<br />15, 2017<br />BUENOS AIRES — A former chief of Interpol says that Argentina bungled the investigation into a 1994 terrorist attack at a Jewish community center, a crime<br />that has newly roiled the country’s political establishment.
