(Times of Israel) Nisman had filed a 300-page complaint accusing Fernandez, Timerman and others of seeking to "erase" Iran's role in the AMIA bombing. "The president and her foreign minister took the criminal decision to fabricate Iran's innocence to sate Argentina's commercial, political and geopolitical interests," the Buenos Aires Herald quoted Nisman as alleging. Since 2006, Argentine courts have demanded the extradition of eight Iranians, including former president Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, former defense minister Ahmad Vahidi and Mohsen Rabbani, Iran's former cultural attache in Buenos Aires, over their involvement in the bombing. Nisman traced the authorization for the July 18, 1994, terrorist attack to a meeting of Iran's National Security Council held a year before.
