2015-02-05 4

The Argentine Senate continues to debate the Federal Intelligence Agency Law. The law would replace the Secretary of Intelligence, a remnant of the infamous Secretary of State Intelligence under the nation's military dictatorship in the 1970s. Among the law's provisions, it proposes that the new Agency only treat crimes such as terrorism, drug trafficking, cybercrimes, human trafficking and other crimes that affect external security. teleSUR.
