Argentina accused of hiding Iranian involvement in ’94 bombing

An attorney involved in the probe on the 1994 AMIA bombing in Argentina, which killed 85 people, files a 300-page complaint which charges that President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner and Foreign Minister Héctor Timerma covered up the involvement of Iranian nationals in the attack, the Buenos Aires Herald reports.

“So, to clear the obstacle, and here is the criminal (aspect), the President (Cristina Fernández de Kirchner) ordered to divert the investigation, abandoning years of a legitimate demand of justice and sought to free the Iranian imputed (in the case) from all suspicions, contradicting their proved ties with the attack. She decided to fabricate ‘the innocence of Iran,’” the lawyer, Alberto Nisman, says.
