Argentina Congress votes to dissolve intelligence agency (BBC)
Argentina's Congress has approved a bill to scrap the country's intelligence agency.
The Intelligence Secretariat will be replaced with a new federal agency that will be accountable to Congress.
The proposal was drafted last month by President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, following the death of special prosecutor Alberto Nisman.
She accused a rogue agent of feeding misleading information to Mr Nisman, who was investigating the government.
The lower house of Congress voted 131 to 71 in favour of the bill. It had already been passed by the Senate.
