| [IsraelTimes] Damian Pachter says his life was in danger in Argentina ...a country located on the other side of the Deep South. It is covered with Pampers and inhabited by Grouchos, who dance the Tangle. They used to have some islands called the Malvinas located where the Falklands are now. They're not supposed to cry for Evita... , came to Jewish state because 'this is the place where I feel safe' The journalist who was first to report the gunshot death of federal prosecutor Alberto Nisman landed in Israel on Sunday, having fled from Argentina because he believed his life was in danger. Damian Pachter, of the English-language Buenos Aires Herald, left the country Saturday, and arrived at Ben-Gurion airport on Sunday evening. He said he was being chased by Argentinian security forces, that his phones were being tapped, and that he "had to move as fast as I could" to "leave the country right away." Pachter said he came to Israel because he is an Israeli citizen "and this is the place where I feel safe." "I intend to return to Argentina when my sources tell me conditions have changed," he had told a local internet site on Saturday. "I don't think that will happen in the term of this government." In a statement, Pachter's employer said the journalist had not expressed his concerns to the newspaper and that the Buenos Aires Herald was ready to help him in any way possible. Meanwhile, ...back at the palazzo, Count Guido had been cornered by the banditti... authorities said Diego Lagomarsino, a computer expert and colleague who said he had brought prosecutor Alberto Nisman a handgun Saturday night at his request, has been barred from leaving Argentina. Lagomarsino, who spoke to authorities soon after Nisman's death, said he had given a .22-caliber pistol to Nisman because the prosecutor wanted it for protection. Nisman was found dead last Sunday, the day before he was to testify before congress about his explosive allegations that President Cristina Fernandez Kirchner shielded Iranian officials wanted in the South American country's biggest terrorist attack. |
