Alberto Nisman was a prosecutor investigating the AMIA bombing in Argentina. During his research, he accused Iran of being responsible of the attack. Also, it is known, that he was about to accuse Argentinian President Cristina Fernandez for helping cover the former Iranian army officials involved in the attack that took around 90 lives in 1994. 

One day before he was supposed to give his testimony on Iran's alleged involvement, he was found dead at his home.  First declarations said he committed suicide with.22 caliber gun. Then the story gives a sudden turn due to the circumstances in which the prosecutor was found in his bathroom, pointed that it was a cold blood murder. 

Suspects

Investigations are being made, and there's a whole story behind the suspects, intellectual and material. It's been said that the main suspect is the prosecutor's employee as the main suspect, because it is known that he gave Nisman the gun, was the last person to see him alive, and there's other ltheory that he might even had keys for his apartment.

Latest Report

Judge Sandra Arroyo Salgado discarded the suicide theory, and Osvaldo Raffo who is a prestigious coroner behind Arroyo's investigation has given new statement on what may have really happened: Nisman was kneeling at the moment of his death.  

According to the report, Nisman didnt have traces of blood on the back, head or arms. Besides, having a height of 6 foot, leads to the conclusion that he was in a lower position than the attacker, probable below him and to the left, due to the blood stains in the room.

Also the hypothesis of a suicide may be discarded, because there's no blood trace in Nisman's right hand, which suggests that something might been have covering his hand, such as the attacker's hand.  

Argentina: The curious case of Alberto Nisman

Last January 18th, the happening was everywhere: Alberto Nisman, an Argentinan lawyer, was found dead in his apartment. 

Nisman, worked as a federal prosecutor, noted for being the chief investigator of the 1994 car bombing of the Jewish center in Buenos Aires, which killed 85 people, the worst terrorist attack in Argentina's history.

Alberto Nisman, who worked at the very beginning of the government with Argentina's President Cristina Kirchner, had an unexpected accusation. He claimed he had proof that President Kirchner and the Foreign Minister Hector Timerman were in the process of creating a cover-up in the investigation of Iran over the 1994 bombing of AMIA (the main Jewish community center of Argentina).

 He presented a large report proof to a federal judge, who was not able to immediately reveal its content.  The opposition convoked Nisman to the Congress to present his findings. The meeting, scheduled for the 19 January, never happened. He was found dead at his apartment a few hours before. 

The main media of Argentina, sworn enemies of the government, threw out doubts over the circumstances of Nisman's death, suggesting that he was either murdered or pushed to commit suicide in a last-minute attempt to prevent his presentation to the Congress.

There are several theories about Nisman's death. Some media sources say it was a murder, other say it was a suicide and there are even some theories that it might be a political murder. 

Since this time, La Nación an Argentinian journal has been posting almost daily, information about this case. 
Here are several publications about it: 
Nisman worked on his cause even hours before his dead
