Cristina Kirchner presented her book "Sincerely" at the Palermo Fair. A special guest arrived at the packed Jorge Luis Borges room and sat in a privileged place.
Sheikh Mohsen Alí was identified by prosecutor Nisman as one of the links between Cristina's government and the government of Iran. Nisman investigated the pact with that country for the attack on the AMIA (1994, 85 dead) that the same prosecutor would later denounce, four days before being found shot in the head in his apartment in Puerto Madero. The Cassation ruling against Iran by AMIA is a paradox: such a forceful confirmation represents a drastic turn in the official approach to the issue, writes Ruben Navarrette, the former head of the Argentine Jewish community. The links attributed to Ali with Hezbollah place him close to Iran's former cultural attaché Mohsen Rabbani, accused of the attack, he says. The former president will go to trial along with Cristina and other defendants - Parrilli, Zannini and Mena, among others - if the Court rejects the last appeal presented by the former president.
