Argentina needs outside probe into Nisman’s death

En Miami Herald / 25 enero, 2015

Argentina’s President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner has only one way of overcoming the political crisis over the mysterious death of the prosecutor who had accused her of trying to cover up Iran’s role in the 1994 terrorist bombing of the AMIA Jewish community center in Buenos Aires — seek international help.

At the time of this writing, she has not done it. The Argentine president has not reached out to any international experts to help to give a measure of credibility to Argentina’s increasingly muddled investigation into the death of Alberto Nisman, the prosecutor in the 1994 AMIA bombing that left 85 dead and 300 wounded two decades ago. It was the worst terrorist attack in the Americas before 9/11 .

Nisman was found dead in his bathroom with a .22 caliber pistol the day before he was about to testify before a congressional commission. He was about to provide legislators with new evidence of his charges that Fernández and Foreign Minister Hector Timerman had conspired with Iran to whitewash Iran’s responsibility in the AMIA bombing.

Judging from several interviews he gave shortly before his death, and from an e-mail he sent me the day of his death — in which he said he was “obviously interested” in doing an interview after his congressional testimony — Nisman was self-confident, and eager to provide new evidence to congress. He had even left a shopping list of groceries that his maid was supposed to buy at the supermarket the day after his death.
