    Aldo Donzis says Morales met with members of his group and said it was “a mistake” to have met with Ahmad Vahidi. That’s because Vahidi is wanted in Argentina for allegedly helping plot the 1994 bombing of a Jewish center in Buenos Aires. It killed 85 people, including six Bolivians.

    Donzis praises Morales for his humility for recognizing the error. Morales’ office has not confirmed the apology.

    Morales met Vahidi on May 31 when the Iranian was visiting Bolivia for the opening of a military academy.
