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.
