A prosecutor investigating the 1994 bombing(85 killed) of a
Jewish community center in Buenos
Aires , Argentina
was found dead in his apartment last week. Alberto Nisman(the prosecutor)
accused the country's president, foreign minister and other officials of
covering up Iran 's
involvement in the attack. Nisman was invited to bring his evidence to Congress
on Monday, but was found dead inside his apartment the day before with a
gunshot wound to his head. At first, some thought it was a suicide, but now many Argentinians believe he was
murdered. Nisman's report was received by a court less than 2 days after his
body was found. The report made its case with tapped telephone conversations
between representatives of Argentina
and Iran and concludes that Argentina
stopped pursuing the named Iranian suspects in the bombing in exchange for a
trade deal. Intercepted phone calls between representatives of both countries
show there was a conspiracy to create a new hypothesis for the bombing and
change the direction of the investigation based on fake evidence to remove the
heat from the Iranians. The investigation is continuing and some Argentinean
have even started protesting.
