Argentina's Kirchner launches new attack on US [View all]

[Zorro]

Argentine President Cristina Kirchner warned the United States of "grave implications" amid claims a US official is lobbying for a group representing the so-called "vulture funds" being contested by Buenos Aires.

Kirchner said Nancy Soderberg, who heads the Public Interest Declassification Board advisory committee that promotes access to national security archives, is also the co-chair of the American Task Force Argentina (ATFA), an organization "specifically created to attack and slander the Argentine Republic and its president."

"If confirmed by you, (this) would have grave implications for relations between our two countries," Kirchner wrote in a letter to US President Barack Obama.

"As you are certainly aware, the functions of the PIDB encompass sensitive issues of national security and include giving advice to the president and to other US executive branch officials."
