Fox News:

A federal judge is dismissing a prosecutor's allegations that President Cristina Fernandez tried to cover-up the alleged involvement of Iranian officials in the 1994 bombing of a Jewish center in Buenos Aires.

 

Judge Daniel Rafecas said on Thursday that the documents, originally filed by the late prosecutor Alberto Nisman and picked up by Prosecutor Gerardo Pollicita following Nisman's death, failed to meet standards needed to open a formal court investigation.

 

"It is clear that neither of the two hypothesis of the crime put forth by the prosecutor Pollicita in his report is even minimally sustainable," Rafecas said, according to la Nación.

 

Pollicita is expected to appeal the magistrate's decision.

 

Days before he was found dead in his apartment in the Buenos Aires City neighborhood of Puerto Madero, Nisman accused Fernández of covering up details of a pact between Argentina and Iran. Nisman’s 289-page report on the bombing argued that there was collusion between officials in Buenos Aires and Tehran to reach an understanding by which the cash-strapped Latin American country might receive cheaper oil.
