In Argentina, a draft request for the arrest of President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner has been found at the home of a late prosecutor who was investigating the 1994 bombing of a Jewish center that killed 85 people. Prosecutor Alberto Nisman had accused Fernández of helping to cover up Iran’s role in the bombing in a bid for oil. He was found dead of a gunshot wound the day before he was due to testify before Congress on his findings. The request for the arrest of Fernández and her foreign minister was found in his trash. So far two judges have refused to take up Nisman’s findings, and the prosecutor investigating his death has announced she will take a two-week vacation.
