Prosecutor: Argentinian President Plotted to Cover Up Iranian Role in AMIA Bombing

An Argentinian prosecutor is suing Argentinian President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner and the Argentinian government for allegedly covering up Iranian involvement in the 1994 bombing of the AMIA Jewish community center in Buenos Aires, the Algemeiner reports.

According to Argentine newspaper La Nacion, Argentinian special prosecutor Alberto Nisman uncovered a plot designed by the President to overlook Iran's role in the terrorist attack. The motivation behind the plan was to "make a geopolitical move closer to the Islamic Republic of Iran, and to establish full economic ties" and to help alleviate "Argentina's energy crisis through a 'grain for oil' deal."

Nisman claims that President Kirchner created a backdoor channel with Iran to collude on the plot. Other major figures have also been accused of engaging in secret talks with Iran on the matter, including members of the Argentinian intelligence services, a parliamentarian, pro-government activists and Jorge "Yussuf" Khalil, a major figure in Argentina's Muslim community who reportedly maintains close relations with Iran.

"Every message from the President was communicated in detail to the fugitive Mohsen Rabbani, who was Iran's Cultural Attache in Buenos Aires at the time of the attack," according to La Nacion.

Some of the evidence was derived from phone taps. Nisman's formal complaint "presents irrefutable evidence that Cristina Fernández de Kirchner ordered Federal Planning Minister Julio De Vido to meet with D'Elia [former member of Kirchner's cabinet], and through him, to transmit the government's interest in swapping grain for oil."

Eamonn MacDonagh, a Buenos Aires based political analyst, told The Algemeiner about the significance of Nisman's phone records acquisition.

"If he has hundreds of pages of phone taps, that can only indicate that some part of Argentina's vast and unaccountable intelligence system is assisting him," said Macdonagh.

These developments come two years following the memorandum of understanding between Argentina and Iran regarding a "truth commission" into the AMIA terrorist attacks which killed 85 and injured many more.

These allegations would demonstrate that the President of Argentina and other senior officials are directly responsible for attempting to cover up the worst terrorist attack in Argentina's history.

Argentina's Leaders BETRAY Jews and ALL Non-Muslim Argentinians.

This is a wicked betrayal of Jews but also a betrayal of every non-Muslim Argentinian.

In Islam the world is divided into two. The House of Islam are the 56 countries conquered by Muslims. The House of War are the countries not yet conquered by Muslims -- the rest of the world and that includes Argentina. Our traitor leaders colonised each one of our tiny nations of Britain and Europe with millions of Muslims. Other Western leaders have also massively imported Muslims.

The goal of Muslims is the same as it has been for 1,400 years, our conquest and our enslavement under barbaric sharia law where non-Muslims have no human rights.

Our leaders are guilty of crimes against humanity for massively importing Muslims into our countries. They spit on the graves of our World War Two heroes who fought and died so that we could live in freedom and safety.

There is a stink in the land of the Gaucho

Argentina, a beautiful land, has a history of breeding characters who are beneath contempt. Perhaps that is why the country became so attractive to fugitive Nazis and runaway bank robbers
