Prosecutor in 1994 Buenos Aires Jewish center bombing found dead

(CNN)Alberto Nisman, the Argentine prosecutor investigating the 1994 bombing of a Jewish community center in Buenos Aires, has been found dead in his apartment, Argentina's Ministry of Security said Monday.

A .22-caliber gun and a shell casing were found with the body, the agency said. Nisman's mother discovered the body Sunday.

Nisman, who had been under the protection of a 10-member security detail, was set to testify Monday to lawmakers on a report alleging that President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner and Foreign Minister Héctor Timerman had covered up Iran's involvement in the attack.

The car bombing left 85 people dead and some 300 wounded.
