Jewish Center Bombing Found Dead
Alberto Nisman, an Argentine prosecutor investigating the 1994
bombing of a Jewish center in Buenos Aires, was found dead from
a gunshot wound in his apartment on Monday, days after he
accused Argentine President Cristina Fernandez of secretly
negotiating with Iran to avoid punishments for those behind the
attack.
The bombing of the Argentine-Israeli Mutual Association (AMIA)
in Buenos Aires killed 85 people and injured 300. Iran and
Hezbollah have long been suspected of carrying out the attack.
In 2013, Nisman, who had been investigating the bombing after
Iran and Argentina reached a widely criticized deal to establish
a joint “truth commission” to investigate the attack, released
an indictment blaming Iran and Hezbollah for the bombing.
Last week, Nisman asked an Argentine judge to call in Fernandez
as well as Argentine Foreign Minister Hector Timerman for
questioning. Nisman told reporters that he believes the impunity
of the Iranians involved in the attack was ordered by Timerman
in exchange for securing closer ties with Iran for oil and
weapons deals.
“The president and her foreign minister took the criminal
decision to fabricate Iran’s innocence to sate Argentina’s
commercial, political, and geopolitical interests,” Nisman had
said, The Associated Press reported.
