An Argentine prosecutor said Friday there is enough evidence to continue an investigation into whether President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner hid Iran’s alleged role in a deadly 1994 bombing, a probe that paused after a different prosecutor died mysteriously last month.
Federal Prosecutor Gerardo Pollicita filed a 61-page report essentially endorsing what prosecutor Alberto Nisman claimed before he died in January: that evidence shows Fernandez and other top officials tried to cover up Iran’s alleged involvement in the bombing that killed 85 people at a Jewish center in Buenos Aires.

About 10 years ago, Nisman was appointed as special prosecutor to investigate the bombing by then-President Nestor Kirchner, Fernandez’s late husband.
CNN’s Rafael Romo, Elwyn Lopez and Ben Brumfield contributed to this report.
