WASHINGTON D.C. – Congressman Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL) released the following statement after reports of AMIA Special Prosecutor Alberto Nisman’s death:
"Those seeking justice for the brutal terrorist attacks in Argentina against the Israeli Embassy in 1992, which killed 29 people, and the AMIA Jewish community center in 1994, which killed 85, have suffered a setback with the death of prosecutor Alberto Nisman. Over several years, Mr. Nisman uncovered direct links between those atrocious acts of terror in Argentina and the terrorist state of Iran. Now it is incumbent upon Argentina to appoint a new prosecutor capable of meeting Mr. Nisman’s courage and tenacity in ensuring that those who perpetuated those vicious acts are punished.
"The evidence that Mr. Nisman was about to reveal must be brought to light and aired before the international community. These individuals, whom Mr. Nisman identified as responsible for the worst acts of terrorism in Argentina’s history, must finally be brought to justice. My thoughts and prayers are with Mr. Nisman’s family, and with the families of the embassy and AMIA victims who still seek justice for their lost loved ones.”
