Argentine lawmaker seeks U.S. help in prosecutor death probe

Argentine lawmaker seeks U.S. help in prosecutor death probe, Nisman was found in his Buenos Aires apartment with a bullet to his head two weeks ago. Few believe it was suicide, even though President Kirchner originally suggested it was.

Only days later, she blamed the death on rogue intelligence officials looking to frame her. Either way, protestors claim the government isn't telling the truth.

Nisman died the day before formally accusing the president's government of shielding Iranian agents from blame in the attack in a deal for oil. Fernandez denies the claims.

Argentine congresswoman Patricia Bullrich spoke to Nisman the day before he died, but said he never told her about specific threats.

"He said to me he was afraid for ... two daughters. He received a lot of threats," Bullrich said.

She wants the FBI to assist in the probe of Nisman's death. She believes everyone has a stake in getting to the truth.

Investigators say key security cameras at Nisman's apartment building were not working. The nation is also turning its attention to the political fight over Kirchner's request to dissolve Argentina's spy agency and start a new one.Nisman was found in his Buenos Aires apartment with a bullet to his head two weeks ago.
