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.

The problem for the Dictator is that the Mossad may get involved and return the favor.

Makes you wonder if there is a connection between Kirchner and Valerie Jarrett
Iranian connection being covered up, officials being threatened...
Sounds like the USA

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

I heard he shot himself in the head twice then threw the gun out the window.

Those SU-24 go for cheap, the Russians are upgrading to the SU-34 and SU-35. Also, Uncle Stalin’s people made a bunch of them. A Type 45 destroyer and the Euro-fighters stationed down there will eat their lunch, not to mention the Nuke subs that are probably patrolling down there loaded with Tomahawks. It’s not 1982 and while the Brits are off of the game from the late 80’s, smart bombs and cruise missiles make it a different war. Plus, the Brits have experienced people after over 10 years of war in the Middle East.

A coincidence, I’m sure.

Completely a coincidence.

I guess Arkancide has no borders.

Cristina, like (Barbara Boxer) said, “You can call me Madam!” Something is rotten in Argentina. A few weeks ago, around Christmas, she was checked into the Hospital for ‘a sprained ankle’. Really? Who needs a hospital stay for a sprained ankle? Maybe they had to take a few days to titrate and adjust all her other meds to be compatible.

The witch and the bitch. You choose who is what.

Never seen CSI shows? THe door is always locked from the inside, the gun is placed nicely in the murder victim’s hand, a well written suicide note is found at their feet, and the ten bullet holes in their head are neatly arranged.

That’s how commies and Argentinian peronists work too.

Coroner’s conclusion: Suicide by murder. His body was later found encased in a cement block with a neat suicide note on top of it.

Peron. Evita. Kirchner. YES WE DID!
