Jewish prosecutor Alberto Nisman was apparently murdered after he had alleged in a stunning accusation that Cristina Fernandez reached a secret deal with the Iranian government to cover up the role of several Iranian officials suspected in the 1994 bombing of a Jewish community center in Buenos Aires.
In yet another twist in the Nisman murder investigation, a judge has passed the case to a federal court after initially opposing such a move. It is unclear why she agreed.
Jewish rights groups gathered in several Argentine cities on Monday to mark the first anniversary of prosecutor Alberto Nisman's death. Nisman was found dead in his apartment with a bullet to his head. He was investigating the 1994 bombing of a Jewish community center that killed 85 people.
Argentine courts will investigate whether a long list of top officials have been covering the tracks of terrorists who committed the worst attack in the country's history.
Ecuador's president, responding to a critic who called him a fascist, tweeted "Heil Hitler." Why he chose the Nazi salute in this particular case is unclear.
