One of them is Ahmad Vahidi, who was one of those responsible for the attack," the country's foreign affairs ministry said in a statement posted on their social media.

The statement continued, "This individual is currently joining a governmental coalition that is traveling to Pakistan and Sri Lanka. On this mark, upon request of the Argentinian authorities, the Central Office of Interpol has issued a red notice for his arrest."
