Foul play suspected in death of Argentine prosecutor
Alberto Nisman was found shot to death just hours before he was set to testify on Iran's alleged role in the 1994 bombing of a Jewish community center
BUENOS AIRES – Argentine President Cristina Fernandez says she's "convinced" prosecutor Alberto Nisman did not commit suicide.
In a letter published Thursday by state news agency Telam, Fernandez says all the questions about Nisman's death "have been converted into certainty. The suicide (I'm convinced) was not a suicide."
Fernandez' letter contrasts with the one she wrote Monday saying she believed Nisman took his life.
The 51-year-old Nisman was found slumped in the bathroom of his apartment Sunday night with a bullet wound in his head.
Four days before Nisman gave a judge a 289-page report alleging Fernandez secretly reached a deal to prevent prosecution of former Iranian officials accused of involvement in the 1994 car bombing of Argentina's largest Jewish center.
Fernandez dismissed those accusations in Thursday's letter.
