Facing cover-up allegations, Argentina's Fernandez says she's "tough"
Argentine President Cristina Fernandez struck a defiant note on Sunday in her first national address since a prosecutor announced he would continue to investigate allegations she tried to cover up a 1994 bombing at a Jewish center, saying harsh Patagonian winters had taught her to be tough.
The accusations – first brought by a state investigator whose mysterious death last month threw the Fernandez administration into turmoil – were deemed credible on Friday by a newly-named prosecutor who said he would press on with the investigation.
