Oil-hungry, cash-starved Argentina sought dirty deal with Iran, prosecutor's death reveals
Fox News Latina ^ | 01/23/2015 | Andrew O'Reilly/

When Alberto Nisman’s body was found inside his Buenos Aires apartment with a bullet lodged in his head, questions immediately arose about the circumstances surrounding his death and the investigation he had been conducting into a 1994 car-bomb attack on an Argentinian Jewish center by Iranian terrorists that killed 85 people.

"The Argentinian economy is in really dire straits, and they’re shut out of almost every foreign market, and their economic lifelines are drying up," Jason Marczak, deputy director of the Adrienne Arsht Latin America Center at the Atlantic Council, told Fox News Latino. "The Argentinians were forced to look at deal wherever they could get a deal."

Nisman’s report on the bombing at the Argentinian Jewish Mutual Aid Association (AMIA) bombing, released Tuesday night, revealed intercepted conversations between representatives of the Iranian and Argentinian governments that point to a pattern of secret negotiations.

The transcripts indicate a secret meeting in Aleppo, Syria, in January 2011 between Argentinian Foreign Minister Héctor Timmerman and his Iranian counterpart at the time, Ali-Akbar Salehi, during which Timmerman suggested that Argentina would no longer be interested in investigating the AMIA attack if Iran were willing to supply the country with inexpensive oil.

He must have had a really, really good card to play to be killed.

The Aleppo meeting was followed by another in which a team of Argentinian negotiators tried, unsuccessfully, to exchange the immunity of the Iranians involved in the attack for much-needed oil.

The rule of law is dead in Argentina. It’s economy is in the dumpster in large part because the government has repeatedly defaulted on debt payments and no one will lend to them any more.

“Jewish groups boycott Holocaust event over Argentina prosecutor’s death”

Jewish community leaders in Argentina have announced that none of their representatives will attend an official Holocaust Memorial Day ceremony next week, amid growing anger over the mysterious death of a state prosecutor who was investigating the alleged coverup of the 1994 bombing of a Jewish community centre in Buenos Aires.

The decision not to attend the celebration of the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz concentration camp is a sharp blow to Argentina’s government, which has dedicated many years of patient effort to clear this
country’s reputation as a post-war safe haven for some of the most important Nazi criminals,...
