Argentina's president has been formally accused of covering up Iran's involvement in a 1994 bombing at a Jewish centre in Buenos Aires. The investigation into accusations against Cristina Kirchner will go ahead despite the mysterious death of one of the case's prosecutors, authorities have said. Alberto Nisman died just one day before he was due to face questions in Congress over his 289-page complaint against the president and her foreign minister Hector Timerman. The case will now go before judge Daniel Rafecas who may call upon Kichner to make a statement.
