During a press conference form the Government House, Foreign Minister Héctor Timerman reacted to the accusation filled yesterday by Prosecutor Alberto Nisman, and urged him “to reveal the proof and names of the witnesses”.
One day after Nisman blamed President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner and other government officials of covering the AMIA bombing in 1994, Timerman was personally in charge of the first formal response.
“He should reveal the proof and witnesses; let him give their names and allow the families to analyze the proves,” the minister who was also reached by the attorney’s complaint said.
While defining Nisman’s recent appearance as “a media show”, Timerman recalled that “[late president] Néstor Kirchner and Cristina Fernández de Kirchner signed nine agreements, an historic point in the AMIA investigation. These are unprecedented deeds.”
“Instead of investigating suspects, Nisman is determined to investigate the President clandestinely,” he added.
Among other accused persons were Victory Front national lawmaker Andrés Larroque, MILES social activist Luis D’Elía and the leader of radical leftist group Quebracho, Fernando Esteche.
The attack perpetrated 20 years ago at the AMIA Jewish community Centre claimed the life of 85 people. Local Justice made responsible the Islamic Republic of Iran.
