In news from Latin America, Argentine President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner has announced plans to disband the nation’s intelligence agency amid suspicions that rogue agents were behind the mysterious death of a state prosecutor investigating the 1994 bombing of a Jewish community center that killed 85 people. The prosecutor, Alberto Nisman, had accused President Fernández of helping to cover up Iran’s role in the bombing. He died on January 18, just a day before he was due to appear in Congress to testify about his findings. President Fernández said on Monday night she would send Congress a bill creating a new security body that would be more transparent.

Cristina Fernández de Kirchner: “Essentially, we have seen in these days a sort of permanent revolving door between prosecutors, judges, journalists, media, intelligence services who handle judicial documents or who handle prosecutors or who handle judges. Clearly this has been revealed in recent moments, and it’s necessary to pull out the root, which is why I have taken the decision to dissolve the (intelligence) ministry and the Federal Intelligence Agency.”
