A Bersa Thunder 22 handgun lay next to him.<\/p>\n<p>It all started in the early 1990s, when then president Carlos Saul Menem, who despite being of Syrian ancestry was labeled as a \u201cTurk,\u201d ruled the country. During his two consecutive terms, the former president was strongly suspected\u2014and later convicted\u2014of gunrunning weapons to Ecuador and Croatia (though he never served out his seven-year prison sentence because of his old age). He was also suspected of: being responsible for several unexplained incidents (including the murder of his own son, Carlos &#8220;Junior&#8221;); having deep ties to the international mafia; drug trafficking (linked to money laundering from Colombian drug dealer Pablo &#8220;El Patron&#8221; Escobar); and concealing terrorist attacks.<\/p>\n<p>Under the political context of Menem\u2019s reign, the Argentine Jewish community\u2014 the largest in Latin America and the fifth largest in the world\u2014suffered two tragic blows. The first occurred on March 17, 1992, when a suicide driver crashed a Ford F-100 pickup truck loaded with explosives into the front of the building of the Israeli Embassy in Buenos Aires, killing 29 and wounding 242. The second blow was dealt on July 18, 1994, when a car bomb exploded in front of the \u00a0Argentine Israelite Mutual Association (AMIA), killing 85 people and injuring hundreds more.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_25413\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-25413\" style=\"width: 376px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Argentina_01web.jpg?quality=89&#038;ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-25413\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Argentina_01web.jpg?resize=376%2C327&#038;quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Argentine federal prosecutor Alberto Nisman was found dead of a gunshot wound in his apartment on Jan. 28.

Courtesy Wikipedia Commons.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>After a decade of neglect, former president Nestor Kirchner appointed Nisman\u2014a Jewish lawyer\u2014as a chief investigator of the 1994 car bombing attack. Nisman\u2019s research determined that Hezbollah and senior Iranian officials were responsible for the attacks, and alleged that Iran retaliated when Argentina cancelled its nuclear cooperation with Iran in 1994. Nisman also concluded that the attacks were covered-up by high-ranking Argentine politicians\u2014including former president Menem and the current president Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, wife of former president Nestor Kirchner.<\/p>\n<p>In its defense, the government tried to separate itself from Nisman\u2019s death, arguing that the prosecutor committed suicide. But an autopsy ruled that the bullet entered behind Nisman\u2019s ear, which would require an unconventional hand position for someone trying to kill himself. Attention is also turning to Sergio Berni\u2014the state security secretary\u2014and how he appeared at the scene before the police did, allowing him time to allegedly alter evidence that might implicate the president in Nisman\u2019s death.<\/p>\n<p>The suspicious death of Nisman rekindled among locals the sometimes-hyperbolized view that Argentina is a country still in an institutional vacuum, with rare cases of the powerful being brought to justice. Despite trying to differentiate themselves from former president Menem, the Kirchner couple has continued to act as he did\u2014 under a cloud of corruption, with pressures imposed on journalism and political opposition, and a lack of any real democracy.<\/p>\n<p>Today the remains of Alberto Nisman rest in the Jewish cemetery of La Tablada, twenty yards from the graves of victims of the AMIA bombing who, after nearly 21 years, are still awaiting justice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Argentine federal prosecutor Alberto Nisman was found dead of a gunshot wound at his at his Buenos Aires apartment Jan. 18, just hours before he was due in court to present to congress his evidence of a government conspiracy.
