BUENOS AIRES, Argentina: Iran's top diplomat in Argentina says the U.S. and Israel are pressuring Interpol to put a handful of his countrymen on the international police agency's most-wanted list for the 1994 bombing of a Jewish community center here.

The lead prosecutor in Argentina's worst terror attack, however, says the case is not a political matter. He is calling for Interpol to take action at the 186-nation agency's general assembly that opens Monday in Marrakech, Morocco.

"Iran has been permanently trying to politicize this," prosecutor Alberto Nisman said before flying to Marrakech.
