Argentine prosecutor renews investigation into cover-up of Iran regime role in 1994 bombing

The prosecutor who inherited a high-profile case that prosecutor Alberto Nisman was building before he was found on reaffirmed the accusations into whether there has been an attempt to cover up the Iranian regime officials’ role in the 1994 bombing of a Jewish community centre.

Prosecutor Gerardo Pollicita’s decision to go forward with the case is significant because it sets the stage for a close examination of the investigation that prosecutor Alberto Nisman was building before he was found dead Jan. 18. The next day, Nisman was scheduled to elaborate his accusations to Congress.

The bombing at the Buenos Aires Jewish center, known as AMIA, was the deadliest such attack in Argentina's history.

After the initial investigation ended with no convictions, Nisman was named in 2006 to reopen the case. He accused the Iranian regime of ordering the attack via Lebanon-based Shiite movement Hezbollah, and requested arrest warrants for five Iranian officials including former president Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani.

Meanwhile, a prominent member of Argentina’s parliament has accused the Iranian regime of being behind the death of Alberto Nisman, according to a report by Algemeiner.

Sergio Bergman, said he had “absolutely no doubt” that the Iranian regime “killed” Nisman.

Bergman said: “There is no doubt. You do not have to be crazy to suggest that Iran is involved in his death.”

“It’s not a delusion. To the contrary: Tehran has always been involved here, mixed up with the intelligence services, making agreements with the government, planting spies.”
