Criminal investigation/ Dangerous business
Scene of the 1994 terrorist attack against AMIA.In what way is the death of Alberto Nisman related to the Iranian-Argentinian agreement signed exactly two years ago?
1.  On January 18, 2015, Alberto Nisman, the Argentine federal prosecutor who investigated the terrorist attacks on the Jewish Community Center (Asociación Mutual Israelita Argentina, AMIA) in Buenos Aires in 1994, was found dead in his home in a Buenos Aires suburb with a gunshot wound to the head. A .22 caliber handgun was found next to the body; it was not registered to him.
2.  According to initial reports he committed suicide, but the reports have not been confirmed. It is more likely that he was murdered by his enemies because of his determined objection to the attempts of the Argentine government to cover up Iran’s responsibility for the two terrorist attacks on Argentine soil (the attack on the Israeli embassy in March 1992 and the AMIA attack in July 1994). Prosecutor Viviana Fein, who leads the investigation of Nisman’s death, said she could not rule out the possibility that he was “convinced” to commit suicide.
