Buenos Aires 2015

Prosecutor Alberto Nisman, who was to present evidence this afternoon of a cover-up of Iranian involvement in Argentina’s worst ever terrorist attack, evidence implicating President Cristina Kirchner and others in her administration was found dead this morning.

During an interview a few days earlier Nisman commented "I could end up dead because of this" referring to the comprehensive dossier he was to present today chronicling government complicity in a cover-up of the 1994 bombing of the Argentine Israelite Mutual Association (AIMA, a Buenos Aires Jewish center). A terrorist attack roughly equivalent in magnitude and execution to the 1995 Oklahoma City terrorist bombing. However, unlike Oklahoma City, the AIMA incident has yet to go to trial after two decades of pretrial deliberations amid a plethora of political and judicial irregularities.

Nisman submitted “findings in 2006, accusing eight senior officials of Iran and Hezbollah… of responsibility for the atrocity…. Nisman’s report… handed to the Mossad in July 2006… [was] described as ‘courageous and professional’ by Mossad officials, it is a highly detailed document that contains thousands of pages of surveillance reports, wire-tap transcripts, and analysis of intelligence data.” (Ronen Bergman Ph.D.), The Secret War with Iran: The 30-Year Clandestine Struggle Against the World, September 9, 2008).

Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face. Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance. In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted” (Psalms 89:14-16).
