President Kirchner may face probe over 1994 Jewish Centre bombing
Weeks after death of investigating prosecutor, Kirchner accused of conspiring with Iran over Buenos Aires bomb blast that killed 85 people
Formal charges have been brought against Argentina's president Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, investigating her alleged role in the country's worst terrorist attack.
The charges, brought by prosecutor Gerardo Pollicita on Friday, are the latest developments in the political earthquake set off by the death of prosecutor Alberto Nisman.
Pollicita acted on the 289-page criminal complaint against the president that Nisman made public on January 14, four days before he was found dead of a gunshot wound to the head in his Buenos Aires apartment.
Nisman had been scheduled to present his findings to Congress the next day, accusing Kirchner of secretly conspiring with Iran in trying to derail a criminal investigation into the 1994 bombing of a Jewish community centre in Buenos Aires which killed 85 people.
Nisman had alleged that Kirchner entered into "an alliance with terrorists" starting in 2011 to exonerate five Iranian suspects from responsibility in the Amia Jewish community centre bombing.
Based on Nisman's complaint, the president, foreign minister Hector Timerman and legislator Andrés Larroque stand accused of concealment and obstruction, for trying to hide the responsibility of the five suspects.
