President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner has announced plans to disband Argentina's intelligence agency.

In a TV address, she said she would draft a bill to set up a new body.

Ms Kirchner said the intelligence services had kept much of the same structure they had during the military government, which ended in 1983.

The move comes after the mysterious death of prosecutor Alberto Nisman - hours before he had been due to testify against senior government officials.

Kirchner to dissolve Argentine intelligence service after prosecutor death

Buenos Aires (AFP) - President Cristina Kirchner on Monday said that she will disband Argentina's intelligence service after a prosecutor was found dead hours before he was to make explosive allegations against her in Congress.

"The plan is to dissolve the Intelligence Secretariat and create a Federal Intelligence Agency" with a leadership chosen by the president but subject to Senate approval, said Kirchner, who has alleged that the death of prosecutor Alberto Nisman was a plot to discredit her.
