Argentine prosecutor who accused Cristina Kirchner over 1994 bombings found dead

Alberto Nisman, who on Monday was due in parliament to present his case against president Cristina Kirchner, found dead days after warning "I could end up dead because of this"

An Argentine prosecutor who accused President Cristina Kirchner of covering up Iran’s involvement in the country’s worst ever terrorist attack has been found dead, hours before he was due to present his evidence in parliament.

Alberto Nisman, 51, had spent the past decade investigating the 1994 bombings of a Buenos Aires Jewish centre, which killed 85 people.

Two years ago he began working on a 300-page dossier – due to be presented to a parliamentary committee on Monday afternoon – which used extensive wiretaps to unravel the mystery of the attack at the Argentine Israelite Mutual Association building (AMIA), for which no one has ever been convicted.

He knew that the revelations in his dossier were going to cause a huge outcry. The stridently anti-Kirchner newspaper Clarin said that he had told one of their reporters on Wednesday: “I could be dead by the end of this.”

Iran has long been suspected as being behind the bombings, and last week Mr Nisman accused Ms Kirchner and several of her governmental colleagues of whitewashing Iranian involvement, in order to secure much-needed oil deliveries.

A .22 calibre handgun was by his side, after his mother was alerted by security guards in the building that he had not collected his Sunday papers and was not answering the telephone. The door was locked from inside, and a locksmith had to be called. “All signs point to suicide,” said Sergio Berni, Argentine security secretary.

no worries, Sergio and his men are on the case

Not even in winter when all the leaves are turning brown?

Yes, you do! Life isn’t worth living as a p****. He did the right thing. I hope I make the same choices in life.

That’s interesting. JFK jr is another one, rumors that he was going to run for Senator of New York which Hitlery had her eye on, next thing you know he dies in a plane crash in 1999 after which Hitlery immediately buys a house in New York and begins her Senate campaign with her extremely arrogant “listening tour”. I’ve had a pilot tell me the plane JFK Jr was flying was “impossible to crash” as they described because all you have to do is let go of the controls and it rights itself. This is a bitch who had her husband pardon terrorists in a pathetic bid to buy votes, so she could care less who dies as long as it gets her what she wants.

Pretty sure Kirchner is not guilty, in one sense, at least.

So distraught he tied his hands behind his back and shot himself in the forehead.

Too bad Argentinian keep voting for socialists. It was once the wealthiest country in the western hemisphere. It is quite a lovely country outsid

Get a grip, man! She's as guilty as sin in the most visible senses!

You've got photoshop poisoning.
