Argentinian prosecutor killed before testifying of presidential involvement in terror cover up
- Written by E.Tsiliopoulos
Argentine Special Prosecutor Alberto Nisman was found dead a few hours ago with a gunshot wound to his head. Nisman was the prosecutor in charge of the investigation into the 1994 Buenos Aires Jewish Center bombing.
He was assasinated just hours before he was going to testify to the Argentinian Congress on Monday, Jan. 19, that his country’s president was directly involved in cover-ups to obscure Iran’s involvement in the Buenos Aires bombing of the Israeli Embassy and Jewish Community Center.
On July 18, 1994, the Argentine Israelite Mutual Association building was bombed, killing 85 people and injuring hundreds.
Over the years he had been complaining about being stonewalled by political forces in his own country as he tried to prove Iran's involvement in the bombing and bring them to trial.
In May, 2013, Nisman released a report accusing Iran of establishing terrorist networks in Latin America. Nisman further claimed that the evidence in his report proved “beyond a reasonable doubt” that former Iranian cultural attaché in Argentina, Mohsen Rabbani, was responsible for the 1994 bombing.
Nisman was supposed to testify this morning in Argentina's Congress about Argentina's own president being directly involved in the covering up Iran's involvement. Nisman’s claim last week that she was directly involved in the cover-up was a bombshell.
NIsman had a lot of very powerful enemies.
