(Jerusalem Post) Mathilda Heller - Argentine prosecutor Sebastian Basso has asked federal judge Daniel Rafecas for a national and international arrest warrant against Iran's Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, due to his direct involvement in the bombing of the AMIA Jewish community center in Buenos Aires in 1994, which killed 85 and wounded 330.
