Judge Reopens Complaint Against Argentine Ex-President in 1994 Bombing
(New York Times) Jonathan Gilbert - A federal judge in Argentina has ordered the reopening of a criminal complaint against former President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, accused of conspiring to derail an investigation into the bombing of a Jewish center in Buenos Aires in 1994 in which 85 people were killed. Judge Claudio Bonadio is reviving a complaint brought by Alberto Nisman, a federal prosecutor who died last year in mysterious circumstances. Nisman had accused Kirchner and her foreign minister, Hector Timerman, of ordering secret negotiations to shield former Iranian officials thought to be behind the attack.
