The timing and coincidence of the mysterious death of Dr. Alberto Nisman couldn’t be more remarkable.

He was found dead with one bullet in his head in his apartment in the capital just hours after an Israeli helicopter fired missiles that killed six Hezbollah commanders and six Iranian officers on the Syrian side of the Golan. Among them was an Iranian general and Jihad Mughniyeh, son of Imad, Hezbollah’s “defense minister,” whom Israel assassinated in 2008. Iranian and Hezbollah media hinted that their killing would be avenged.

His death also was just hours before he was to testify before a committee of Argentina’s parliament regarding his accusations that Argentine President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner and her Foreign Minister Héctor Timerman were leading the cover-up to blur the Iranian role in the 1994 terrorist attack.

“The president and her foreign minister took the criminal decision to fabricate Iran’s innocence to sate Argentina’s commercial, political and geopolitical interests,” he said recently.

Nisman was the Argentine public prosecutor who showed integrity, courage and determination in conducting the investigation into the 1994 AMIA attack – the association of the Jewish communities in the country. In that attack, the worst terrorist incident in Argentina’s history, 85 people were killed.

That incident was preceded two years earlier by the bombing of the Israeli embassy in Buenos Aires, which claimed 29 lives, seven of them Israelis.

Thousands of angry Argentinians took to the streets in Buenos Aires to protest Tuesday after prosecutor Alberto Nisman was found dead in his apartment Sunday morning. Nisman was about to reveal damning information regarding collusion between the Argentine government and Iran in covering up Iran's role in the bombing of the AMIA Jewish community center building in 1994, which killed 85 people.

The protesters carried signs that said ”I am Nisman”, borrowing a theme from the "Je suis Charlie" and "Je suis Juif" demonstrations that have followed recent terror attacks in France.

Local Argentina police issued a report Tuesday morning according to which it turned out that Nisman did not hold a gun in his home, and the gun that was found at the murder scene was not his. An autopsy determined that he died of a bullet to the head fired from a .22 caliber gun. Police are looking for gunpowder residue on his hands, which could point to suicide if found. His body was found in the bath room.

No suicide letter was found in Nisman's apartment.

I'm surprised that any Argentines are upset about this.
