Argentine President Cristina Kirchner claimed that prosecutor Alberto Nisman (above), who died a day before he was due to accuse her of covering up a Jewish bombing in 1994, was murdered to 'implicate' her.
[From article]
An Argentine prosecutor who died mysteriously last week told a reporter prior to his death that he had evidence tying Iranian President Hassan Rouhani to the 1994 bombing of a Jewish community center in Buenos Aires.
The Washington Free Beacon first reported that Rouhani was part of the secretive Iranian government committee that approved the AMIA bombing, according to witness testimony included in a 500-page indictment written by the late Argentine prosecutor Alberto Nisman, who was appointed to investigate the attack.
The bombing, which killed 85 and injured hundreds, is believed to have been authorized by Iran and carried out by its terror proxy Hezbollah. Nisman’s indictment implicated numerous high-profile Iranian officials in the attack and prompted Interpol to issue “red notices” for their arrests.

An Argentine prosecutor found dead shortly before he was about to make explosive allegations about President Cristina Kirchner took a bullet point-blank
to his forehead, justice officials said Saturday.
Authorities said Diego Lagomarsino, a computer expert and colleague who said he had brought prosecutor Alberto Nisman a handgun Saturday night at his request, has been barred from leaving Argentina.
Nisman was found dead with a bullet to the head in his Buenos Aires home on Sunday, just before he was set to go before a congressional hearing to accuse Kirchner and Foreign Minister Hector Timerman of shielding Iranian officials implicated in the 1994 bombing of a Jewish community center that killed 85 people.
It was Argentina's worst terror attack in modern history. It has never gone to trial fully. Several pretrials were cancelled amid serious irregularities involving judges and Argentine intelligence staff.
Investigators, who initially said Nisman appeared to have committed suicide, have not ruled out homicide or "induced suicide."

The official in charge of investigating his death said last night that he appeared to have been shot at point blank range but added that there was no firm evidence that anyone else was involved.

Sara Garfunkel, mother of late prosecutor Alberto Nisman, leaves the office of prosecutor Viviana Fein, who is investigating Nisman's death, on Thursday.
Kirchner argued that Alberto Nisman did not commit suicide, but was instead killed in an 'operation' against her government.
Mr Nisman, the lead prosecutor in the case, was found dead under suspicious circumstance with a gunshot to his head at his home.
Prosecutor Viviana Fein, who is leading the investigation into his death, said yesterday that the shot had been fired 'from a distance no greater than a centimetre'.
