BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA (AP) – A prosecutor whose mysterious death has rocked Argentina's government confided to an opposition congresswoman that he believed his case against President Cristina Fernández was going to cost him his position, the lawmaker said Friday.

 

Alberto Nisman was found shot dead in his bathroom on Jan. 18. The discovery came shortly before he was to appear in Congress to detail his allegations that Fernández helped Iran cover up the 1994 bombing of a Jewish community center, which killed 85. Fernández and Iran deny the accusations.

 

Congresswoman Laura Alonso said Nisman spoke to her privately on Jan. 14. She said he feared for his safety and for his daughters, confirming what several other friends and colleagues of Nisman have said.

 

Alonso said that three days before Nisman died, he had sent her a text message saying, "I'm going with everything," a reference to the case he was going to present to lawmakers.

 

She said Nisman told her: "The government knows that I'm bringing this investigation forward."

 

Alonso said that even though Nisman felt threatened, he was committed to his investigation and rejected the possibility that he killed himself.

 

Investigators initially said it appeared Nisman committed suicide, then later said they also were investigating the possibility of a homicide.
