Argentine President Cristina Fernandez on Monday called for Congress to dissolve the country's intelligence service.
It was the president's first televised appearance following the death of prosecutor Alberto Nisman. The 51-year-old was found shot to death in his apartment the day before he was set to talk in detail about some of Argentina's top officials and their alleged involvement with Iranian leaders to cover up the 1994 bombing of a Jewish center.
Nisman accused Fernandez, her foreign minister, and other senior officials of conspiring with Iran in the massive terror attack that killed 85 people in exchange for oil and other trade deals, according to the Associated Press.
The prosecutor's death on Jan. 18 was initially said to be a suicide, but that assertion was met with growing skepticism, especially after it was revealed that Security Secretary Sergio Berni arrived at Nisman's apartment before police.
On Thursday, Fernandez changed the government's position and said the cause of death was not a suicide. The following day the government said it suspected rogue agents from Argentina's intelligence services were responsible for the prosecutor's death.
Fernandez said Monday that Congress must reform the intelligence services, and it was a "national debt" the country had since the return of democracy in 1983.
"The plan is to dissolve the Intelligence Secretariat and create a Federal Intelligence Agency," Fernandez said.
The president's plan is to choose the new leadership, although it would be subject to Senate approval, Agence France-Presse reported.
