Argentine Prosecutor Accuses President and Foreign Minister of "Covering Up" Iran's Involvement in 1994 AMIA Bombing
(Buenos Aires Herald-Argentina) The prosecutor in charge of the AMIA bombing investigation, Alberto Nisman, has filed a 300-page complaint accusing President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner and Foreign Minister Hector Timerman of "covering up" Iranian involvement in the deadly 1994 attack. He said the Kirchner administration planned to "erase" Iran from the case, deciding to "not incriminate" Iranian officials in the bombing of the Jewish community center in Buenos Aires that killed 85 and injured hundreds more. Argentina signed a deal with Iran in January 2013 to jointly probe the bombing.
