Cristina Fernandez renews support for AMIA agreement with Iran

Argentina's President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner once again threw her weight behind the country's last year agreement with Iran on investigations into the 1994 bombing of the AMIA center in Buenos Aires.
President Fernandez de Kirchner made the comments on Tuesday night and on the anniversary of the agreement signed with Tehran.
Addressing the people of Argentina, President Fernandez de Kirchner reiterated that the agreement will help find a way for clarifying the unknowns of the bomb attack and finding the realities.
"Several judges and prosecutors who are pursuing the interests of certain companies and politicians of the opposition political party have tried to portray the MoU as illegal," the Argentine president said, explaining the hues and cries made by pro-Israeli lobby groups about the agreement.  
Earlier this month, Argentinean Foreign Minister Hector Timmerman called a leading prosecutor a liar for accusing President Fernandez of secretly negotiating with Iran to help exonerate the country from involvement in the 1994 deadly bomb attack on the AMIA center in Buenos Aires.
Prosecutor Alberto Nisman had asked a judge to call Fernandez, Timmerman and others for questioning about the 1994 bombing of the Argentine-Israeli Mutual Association in Buenos Aires that killed 85 people.
Timmerman called the prosecutor's accusations "despicable".
Reading from a statement, he said Fernandez had taken big strides "in the search and punishment of the perpetrators of the brutal attack".
The prosecutor's accusations "only demonstrate the level of confusion and paralysis" in the unsolved case, Timmerman said.
